I have a strocker crank for a 425. The crank has a 4.010 strock. Machined for a stock rod. never been put in a motor. still in crate.What would it run if I were to sell the crank. I mighht need the money to finish my 455 and put it on the road. Thanks Doug
Doug, I may be interested in your crank because mine is bad and I'm considering rebuilding the motor..........or just forget it and put something else in. Any decisions on possibly selling it? Kelly:Brow:
i might have to sell it. I was looking for what it might be worth before I say yes for sure. If i can get the money i need to fix my 65 with the 455 and put it on the road with what I sell the crank for then it will be sold. Doug
Doug, do you have or are putting a 455 into a '65 Riv? Or is it some other Buick? If it is into a Riv, I'd sure like to know some of the specifics as I would like to do the same.
No the 455 is in a skylark. I think there was a guy that put a 455 in a 65 Riv and it was on the cover of one of my GSXtras. I got ask a Question about the crank. The rods and main bearing sizes are the same. you could use a stock rod or a after market witha custom piston. The gentle men I bought this crank from some time back told me he had used a chevy rod and a cutom piston. The crank was sold to me like it is and has never been in a motor.I had plans to build the fastest 65 GS Nailhead. I planed to get a set of chevy rods and custom pistons with about 13.1 to 1 and have the heads ported witha ll the good stuff with it. anyway I sold the GS(a post car) and have only nothing else for it to go in. I have just 455 parts. and need to get my 455 65 lark on the road. I asked both my dad and brother if they wanted this crank and both of them are restoring ther GS's. The crank says Mickey Thomson on it. I bought it from a gentle men that was cleaning out all his buick stuff.He at the time had 5 cranks just like it and one that was in a ford pick up. I called him some time after getting the crank and the number has been shut off. I wanted to get one more just because. Well anyway I would like $1000.00 for it only because I need it to get my 455 done. If you want to trade or make a offer please e-mail me and lets talk. I would like to see this go to a nailhead guuy that is going to use it . Thanks Doug
