If so looking for some feedback.
Quality looks awesome and the guys are great to talk to.

still no good ? or still just getting over the grieff it caused you ?

Geez, you'd have to be a very rich, hard core Grey motor aficionado to spend 5g on a crank.

At least when the grey blew into pieces, the crank would still be alright.

Really, why would want to spend 5g on a crank, when you would need another 20g on other parts to make it worthwhile.

Tassie,

It'd be cheaper using a Vauxhall L model crank and machining it to fit. My engine builder knows how to do this. But unless you want to spin a grey to 6000 - 7000 rpm all the time it's a waste of money. Really only needed for racing.

Oldnek is on the money. I know of someone whom last year whom spent 20 grand doing up a Repco crossflow grey motor to circuit racing specs. For that kind of money, you'd be better off spending it on a complete supercharged V6 conversion if outright performance is what you want.

[Mick]

that's it do you want to go fast or fast with a grey motor, like has been said unless you want a serious near race only grey there's not much point in one of those cranks

> 7000 RPM grey with Vauxhull crank. Screamin.
