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!

Very nice! What will turn the H22 into? 2.5L?

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.

Yeah I would stick to pump fuel for the ease and reduced cost.

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
