Very special Rover V8 crankshaft
Discussion
Hi all,
I have for sale a very special Rover V8 crankshaft.
It is one of the Boost Performance castings (http://boostperformance.co.uk/rover_v8.html) that I have had machined. It is cast from nodular iron and it is fully counterweighted -- i.e. it has additional counter weights adjacent to the centre main bearing, as per TVR crankshafts I believe.
For complicated reasons that I am happy to go into for anyone interested in buying, I ended up with two crankshafts. One I am keeping for myself and the other is for sale.
This crank was cast with extra material in the webs to accomodate wider Chevy V8 rods. These are available cheapily in a range of lengths. Even with the wider big ends, there is substantially more material in the webs compared to the standard crank.
This crankshaft can form the basis of a very serious engine build -- my own one is going in a 5L Wildcat engine
Machined to specs as follows:
Mains: 2.5"
Big Ends: 2"
Stoke: 86.36mm
Long nose for serp engines
Cross drilled oil ways
This crank has been machined to fit small journal Chevy V8 rods WITHOUT modification to the rods -- typically, to fit Chevy rods on the Rover requires you to narrow the rod and shells.
This was machined and balanced to my application, but it will be possible to have it balanced to suit your particular rod and piston combination.
With a 96mm bore, this crankshaft will give you a capacity of 5L.
£2500 or nearest offer.
Sold on the understanding that you know this isn't a bolt-in part. You will need to work out the bore, rod length, static compression, valve clearances etc... to make this crankshaft work for your application and desired capacity, and that it will need balancing.
Collection from Wokingham preferred as obviously it is heavy, and I would rather not risk damage in transit. Transit could be arranged if absolutely necessary though, or happy to meet half way if it's not too far.
I shall also probably list on Ebay too, so it might go.
