“This is a very nice factory forged steel crankshaft for 1957-1958 Oldsmobile 371 V8 engines. This crank was recently found at an estate sale of a long time hot rodder. Apparantly, the entire engine was purchased before I got there but the buyer left and the crank was found later. The family had to get rid of the parts by the end of the day and simply could not take the risk that the buyer of the engine would come back. This crank was turned .010 under on the rod and main journals and has not been used since. The crank has also had other high performance modifications done including crossdrilling and grooving the main journals. The crank has surface corrosion from storage as shown. Fortunately, the journals were coated and only have light staining that will not cause any issues. This is a very nice crank.”

This is a very nice factory forged steel crankshaft for 1957-1958 Oldsmobile 371 V8 engines. This crank was recently found at an estate sale of a long time hot rodder. Apparantly, the entire engine was purchased before I got there but the buyer left and the crank was found later. The family had to get rid of the parts by the end of the day and simply could not take the risk that the buyer of the engine would come back. 

This crank was found fresh in the bag and has never been installed in an engine since being machined. This crank was turned .010 under on the rod and main journals. The main journals measure 2.740 inches and the rod journals are 2.240 inches. The crank has also had other high performance modifications done including cross-drilling and grooving the main journals. The crank has surface corrosion from storage as shown. Fortunately, the journals were coated and only have light staining that will not cause any issues. The crank has not been balanced and all the threads are in good condition. This is a very nice crank.

I believe this crankshaft can also be used in a 324 block to make a stroker engine. I am not sure of the modifications necessary to install this crank into a 324 block so please look into it before buying the crank. 

Ebay only allows 12 pictures to be posted on a parts listing. 12 pictures simply aren't enough to show a crankshaft. I took a video of the crank as well. To watch the video, simply click on the play icon in the picture below and the video will play right here on this page.

This is your chance to own the crankshaft you have been dreaming about at a great price.  Don't Miss Out!

GOOD LUCK!

Callaway supercharges 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The debut of a number of new vehicles from Chevrolet has not gone unnoticed by companies specializing in building go-faster versions of cars and trucks from the Bowtie brand, and the most the most recent vehicles to receive a boost in performance will be the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and the Chevrolet Suburban. Callaway Performance may be associated mostly with building supercharged versions of the Corvette, but they're also lent their tuning expertise to Chevrolet trucks, and they've already got some things in store for the brand's largest SUVs. Callaway has announced that they'll give the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 found in both SUVs a supercharged boost, courtesy of an Eaton TVS Roots-style supercharger.

New Jeep Grand Cherokee S-Limited launches

Thu, 18 Oct 2012

Jeep has revealed a limited edition Grand Cherokee with the looks of the SRT8 but without the price or outright power – the new Jeep Grand Cherokee S-Limited. Reports of the death of the SUV have been greatly exaggerated in recent years, and the whole SUV sector – from compact to full size – still holds a lot of appeal for buyers. And when it comes to full size SUVs few do it any better than Jeep – certainly as far as off-road experience goes – even if previous versions of their full size Grand Cherokee have been a bit below European standards in terms of materials and on-road ability.

British driver breaks speed record for steam-powered car

Tue, 25 Aug 2009

One of the world's oldest speed records has gone up in smoke--or rather, steam. Charles Burnett III drove a steam car to an average speed of 139.843 mph over two runs in California to beat the 103-year-old record of Fred Marriott. Burnett peaked at 136.103 mph on the first run, then he accelerated to 151.085 mph on the second run less than an hour later.
