The V8 Owners Forum -

Just thinking about something at the mo, What strokes are available in steel crankshafts for the RV8 and what capacities do they yeild with 94mm bore.

is this regarding what we talked about on the phone at ford fair mate?

Forged cranks are quite expensive for RV8. V8tuner quote £2600+. I think Wildcat would be the guys to talk to about this, Their brochure says they can make steel cranks up to 92mm. I know a guy who's selling a brand new 4.2 (iceberg) crank, I can see if he's still got it if you want. The same fella is selling one of the nicest pair of Buick 300 ally heads i've seen for only £200 i think. Those 4.2 cranks come nitrided and x-drilled from the factory, I know this because i've got a new one lurking somewhere too.

54cc on mine.

Yes Tony,
The only reason I ask, I need to check a crank for someone, the measurment is not a problem, I just need to know what displacement certain strokes will yeild
If it turns out to be a standard 3.5/9 stroke its not worth the effort.
Its got to be 4.5 or more. to be worth the effot

I think the wildcat crank is about £1200 and with 96mm pistons gives a 5.2 litre ..
