This company supplies various cranks and rods to top US &amp;quot;sport compact&amp;quot; tuners like Titan , FAT &amp; Crower, and locallly V8/V6 experts, COME Racing &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At this stage, billet cranks for 4 cyl engines like 4A, 7A, 18R, 3S, 5S &amp; 3T series engines will be around $2400. matching rods will be around $150/rod. In most cases , the stroke can be varied , but the extra cost (if any) will depend a bit on volume. These prices refer to their &amp;quot;standard weight&amp;quot; cranks, which are not quite as light as some speciality race cranks, but they cost much less. I can get a lightweight version of some cranks for a bit extra $. For the techno minded, all the cranks are made from certified 4340 steel billets and then balanced and heat treated if required . Rods likewise, and use ARP2000 bolts&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Clearly, longer stroke cranks will require different pistons and/or rods, so you have to allow for that also.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At this time, all I really need is an expression of interest to gauge likely volumes. Please only express interest if you will be definitely prepared to pay a deposit once the deal is finalised , say about 4 weeks . Final payments can be progressive and i expect the delivery will be 3 months &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Download Attachment:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href='http://classic-ford.org/mr2/uploaded/road and track/2008131618_4ag_billet.JPG' target=attachment&gt;&lt;img src='http://rs2000.mine.nu/forum/icon_paperclip.gif'&gt; 4ag_billet.JPG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;26.4&amp;nbsp;KB</description><link>https://www.classic-ford.org/mr2/mr2play/FindPost/6403</link><pubDate>Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:02:18 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
