Crank and Block obtained
Well I purchased this just over 2 years ago, and just the other day it finally arrived!...
A Brian Crower BC5035 100mm Stroke 4340 Billet Crankshaft One of the most important parts of my imaginary build
Crank aside though I need to give a massive shout out to @ludey. I put a deposit down on the crank two years ago and expressed the fact that it was going to take me a while to come up with the rest being my priority at the time was my house renovation. In all honesty, I thought it was going to be a few months. However the house demanded a lot of my finances (still is) and I've had a few unexpected unavoidable expenses since then as well (ie. 2 replacement vehicles to mention 2 of them). We kept in contact throughout, but not once did Stephen ask for what I owed and was always more than understandable when I apologised for taking so long
Anyway, I finally paid up just the other day And then it arrived... In this!!!...
Within this rather hefty cardboard box was this!...
It was like pass the parcel, but rather than a snack-size packet of Haribo under each layer, there was love and care
So once again, thank you Stephen
I also met up with Phil a couple months back and finally removed from his possession the a7 bottom end he'd been holding for me for a good two year also!
Honestly people, don't agree to hold things for me!

Re: Nathan's Road-Legal/Track BB4
All depends on what bore I decide to go for...
87.0mm bore = 13.46:1 CR & 2378cc
87.5mm bore = 13.59:1 CR & 2405cc
88.0mm bore = 13.72:1 CR & 2433cc
88.5mm bore = 13.85:1 CR & 2461cc
89.0mm bore = 13.99:1 CR & 2488cc
Although I don't want to have to use race fuel (due to the added expense), so I probably won't go over 88.0mm bore. Need to talk it through with Rich really.

Custom CP pistons. Then it'll be having the block sleeved to suit.

Oh, and maybe some Skunk2 Pro 3 cams if a brand new set pop up at an unresistable price ...RattyMcClelland wrote:What's next on the part hoard out?
