G'day ...

Specs ... Good!
Pricing ... Value!
Availability ... Soon!



Seriously ... We have the first of our re-designed castings now sitting in the rack aging, and the new tooling is due in the next week or two. We should have finished machined and ground cranks during April.
The price is $1,450 +GST ($1,595).

Ken, are you doing rods and pistons as well or are you recommending proprietary items?

We are pretty keen on the Mahle goodies ... but we have found in the past (with the Holden 308 to 355 units) that most builders have their favorites and just buy the wriggle-stick. We will not be making our own (road-car) pistons or rods in the forseeable future.

We will be offering a "kit", but have yet to finalise the negotiations with suppliers.

Ken,

thanks for the information. What capacity are we talking about, 383, or will there be more than one option available?

The stroke is 4.000", so it is 383 with standard bore ... up to 427 when bored/sleeved.

We do a sleeve "kit" where we machine out the standard cast-in liner and freeze/shrink a wet liner. Works out to about $3,500 to machine and fit sleeves to a supplied block, ready for boring/honing/line-boring.
:D
