How much can a 400 crankshaft weight?

 

How much can it WEIGH? They're not light...maybe 60 to 80 pounds or so.

 

yeah jejejej, ah ok i thought they were heavier....

 

i have asked this one before...62 pounds.

how about this...a 4 in stroke crank for a 351C from Scat - 52 pounds...plus smaller mains to boot!...If someone just make rods fit....(SBC journal size...bummer)

 

400 crank with bearing is 72 pound with the box. I order a rebuilt crank from rock auto and the shipping bill say 72 pound.

 

ok thanx man, Im ordering one and was worried , but 70 its way lighter than what i thought

 

hi all, paul here, here i go again.rock on to all you fellas with facts about what I think was a legitatmate SERIOUS mechanical ?, i rest my case about THIS site. ill be quiet now, but before i go, i have wondered about these # myself.it IS part of the equation. depending on what it is you are trying to accomplish as always, later me.

 

hi all, and i mean ALL,
for what it is worth, i,me am interested in this thread, i have said so. if i understand and respect MR hollenjoe like i know i do. it is about reciprocating weight. .because i always care and i AM gratefull to THIS forum and without quarter everyone on it to datefor the hundreds of $$$$ nick and dearest wife and i HAVE saved on this PARTICULAR DESIGN BECAUSE those before of us have been good enough to SHARE what they KNOW does and/or does NOT work i want to give back anywhere i can period. quietely and respectfully. it goes like this. we weighed a TMI 400 crank, stock mains, proffesionally ground .010 UNDER rod j,s out of the the shipping box that we RECENTLY purchased. i used a common standard drugstore bathroom scale because frankly it is all that i own at the current time as it pertains to scales. ie. NOT a digital of documented accuracy period. at this point if you fellas are still with me. a coupla more points i stated what I used, but lo and behold, it comes in right at or NEAR what rj & job specifically stated. remember now i told the thruth about the CALIBER of OUR dime store scale. we came in at 60 lbs. +or- whatever you prefer considering the tool WE used period. my real thoughts. i personally, in the absense of a documentented scale, would be much more inclined to TRUST the indicated shipping weight of any of the MAJOR shipping co,s MINUS the container BECAUSE there reputation and livelhood DEPENDS upon it. okay all done now luv you man and i am happily married. (get it grin) BYE paul kiernan md

 

I feel the need to clarify...

The 62 pound number came from TMeyer...so i can't take credit for the effort, I just try remember what he says!

PS..anyone know the weight of the Tim's stroker crank?

 

hi job, paul. no matter what happens, I respect and admire you for your honesty. i see nothing wrong with my good attitude, its begining to sound like to me all of us should just have gone to TIM M in the first place and the issue would have way further than we are now. remember what i said, bro i own a tmi crank that i intend to use in the very near future and my rough#s are at or near yours period this is what hj was asking. good for you for speaking up is what i say also remember i said these #s are in my mind. if you think about it YOU helped old man paul a whole lot. tx man and carry on. paul.

 

glad i could help.

 

you bet i am always with you on hard core #,s tx me its the motor the motor the motor (g).p

 

351c crank to me have to be lighter than 400 crank. 3 " main bearing 4" stroke.
