“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!

Silverstone unveils new F1 Circuit

Sat, 01 May 2010

The new Silverstone F1 Circuit was revealed this week Bernie will be pleased It’s been a bit of a saga for Silverstone and the BRDC of late, with a backwards and forwards ‘will-they, won’t-they’ get to host the British Grand Prix going forward. Bernie Ecclestone finally announced that Silverstone would host the 2010 British Grand Prix back in December  - although it could be argued only by default after Donnington went belly-up – and the circuit upgrades are nicely in time for the 2010 British Grand Prix in July. Prince Andrew did the official opening on Thursday and got the chance to lap the track in a 2-seater F1 car with Damon Hill at the wheel and former F1 driver – and now BBC pundit – David Coulthard also on track in a Red Bull.

Bentley to debut Flying Spur V8 at Geneva motor show

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Bentley is expanding its Flying Spur range, and will now offer a V8 engine as an option in addition to the W12 in the 2015 model year sedan. This seems like a logical extension, given the fact that Bentley has recently offered a V8 engine in the second-generation Continental GT V8, and they'll bring the new version of the Flying Spur to the Geneva Motor Show next week. Bentley being rather straightforward with their naming practices, the new sedan will be called the Flying Spur V8.
