trowa47 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 So maybe some one from rusch or sun belt can tell me how much weight can you take out of a l24 crank, rods and maybe some flat top je pistons. what would it cost to do this kind of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 The crank can be knife edged and lightened to about 35 lbs. (from the stock 51). Don't know about the weight in the rods and pistons but I ran the lightened crank, JE forged pistons, and Carillo rods. Figure about $750 for the pistons, $800 for the rods, and the crank was about $1,500 after lightening, balancing, polishing, and nitriding. That was in year 2000 dollars.

1 fast z Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I got my 89mm forged pistons in my engine down to 310 grams. I calculated a total of 2.8 lbs out of the recipicating mass from a stock flat top engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
