Parts shopping
« on: March 21 2006, 12:51:25 PM »
I've been shopping around for my engine build up.
The list includes:
Forged std stroke crank.
Forged connecting rods
SFI flexplate
SFI harmonic Balance

Has anyone priced any of this stuff ? Where did you find the best prices ?

Hmm... do a search on the CAT cranks at TBs. I want to say they're about $300. Rods, I'd say shot peen and polish the stock ones, ARP bolts. Flexplate and balancer, I don't know.

I found A crank and rods at fullthrottle. Crank
was $379 Rods were $439 The crank requires
Internal balancing, so you need a special harmonic
balance and flexplate, or modify the stock ones.
I found external flexplates at TA Perf for $206,
but their harmonic balancers were like $470 ! :bigeyes;
I think Postons sell harmonic balancers for $350 ish,
but I can't find my catalog right now.
I'm also lookin' for a good deal on 65# or larger high imp.
injectors. I'll look into the CAT crank though. Thanks.

That worked. I found the CAT crank on eBay for $299+$39 for shipping.
The same seller also sells rods, so I asked if he sells Buick rods too.

Nice. How much power you intend on making?

Definatly upgrade the rods. I saw pics of what stock rods can do to the block if they break. Dont forget to call Nick for prices as an option.

I e-mailed him last week, and I haven't heard back from him...

Approx. 600hp for now, but I want the engine able
to accomodate more later.

I ordered a volt booster and one of those new cam sensors
with the LED from Caspers last night.
The stuff came with a free T shirt.  :supz:

I found that. I also checked with the guy on eBay who sells the cranks, and
he's supposed to have the rods in June. He currently sells the Ford and Chevy
rods for $265 a set shipped ! My boss is looking into becoming a distributor
for them. So, I'll see what happens there. I like dealing with Mike L, so
I'll most likely buy the rods from him in order to have my engine in this Spring
rather than waiting.
