Same old story....on the hunt for a 4.2 crank

[bobnkathy]

Anybody got a lead on a c rankshaft that isn't $500? The few companies I've called said they didn't have one in stock. Thanks in advance.

If Bob does not take it, what would shipping to Nebraska run?

[bobnkathy]

I sent him a PM, not sure if he's been on since

Check your local craigslist.

UPS for that size/weight to the zip codes is approaching 100 bucks. The cranks will need to be turned 10 to be sure they are fresh.

Add it all up and your knocking on the 500 dollar window.

Russ can sell you one cheaper that's ready to run.

CL is the other option. Complete engines for 50 bucks are common.

Thanks for the reference John.

I sell the Scat cranks for $425.00

I'm running a special till the end of the month.

* Scat crank with Clevite rod and main bearings
* My Bushed steel I beam Rod W/ARP 8740 cap screw rod
bolts.
* My forged 4032 Pistons made to any specification with
moly rings, and a Chevy .927 pin upgrade.

* $1350.00 *

If ordered with my engine kit i'll pay for the first $50.00
in shipping.

Thanks,

There are 2 258 engines that should have the 12 weight crankshafts in them on the Atlanta craigslist. One is $100.00 the other is $200.00 they have been on there a while so maybe cheaper.
Russ are you seeing any problems with the scat cranks being out of spec? I remember reading a few builds where the scat journals were ground small. The builders ended up buying .001 oversize bearings from the dealer.

Sorry to revive an almost dead thread but i've put almost 400 miles on my stroker with a Scat crank and its doing just fine. Bought the crank about 2 years ago.

there is one in waterloo, il

450.00$

crank. 4.2 & 4.0 rods. 30 over pistons, block for 98/older xj and a few other parts.

its a little pricey. but its out there.

just checked. it is all sold.

check out midwestjeepthing they have a forum with classifieds. sometimes there is good stuff at a good price if it is somewhat local for you.

st. louis area.

Advance auto sells reman 4.2 cranks with bearings for something like 150 ish give or take. the only problem is that you cannot specify 4 or 12 cw and most of the cranks are 4 cw. Find a jeep that has the crank you want and order it then when you get it your local advance will usually swap out the bearings for the it comes with for the year block you intend to use it in.

[woodjeep]

I lied...advance no longer sells them but autozone does...just need to hunt around for the year and castings you need...under 200

[Cheromaniac]

I lied...

I'll let you off this time.
