[Fot] TR4 Billet crank source

[John Frymark]

Since the topic came up again, thought I'd send a note that Marine  
Crankshaft is going to make a small run of TR4 cranks. Not too late to  
join in if you need one for a winter rebuild:

"I have been working with Marine Crankshaft Inc. in Santa Ana, CA,, to  
pattern and produce a TR3/4 billet crankshaft. They are a very  
specialized high-performance crankshaft mfr. The goal was a better  
option on price and delivery, and an updated "5 main bearing" design  
like Crower and Racestoration's (http://www.racetorations.co.uk/page17.html 
). This has been achieved and then some with reduced weight. I have  
the initial unit now. I can send pictures if you are interested and  
contact me off-line.

For now, the owner has asked me to get word out that he welcomes  
additional orders from FOT racers, so here are the details:

$2300.00 includes plasma nitride hardening and dynamic no holes  
balancing.

Standard TR dimensions with aftermarket rear seal area at 2.525" (per  
Uncle Jack's Engine Building Tips). Call for charge to make original  
scroll seal flange.

Rear flange drilled to purchaser's spec at no charge

$100 charge to dimension for Non-standard con rods (i.e. Chevy, Honda)

Actual shipping charges for delivery

50% Deposit required.
