Where to find a stock LT1 crank

Im trying to find a factory stock LT1 crank and not having much luck. Any of you guys got one laying around you are willing to part with.

I have a post in the wanted section, but i dont really think there is to much traffic in there. I know a lot of you guys went fully forged

Let me know, its the last big peice i need for my build.

Yeah, not much LT1 stuff in Tucson or Phoenix. I even tried the local message boards, no one seems to have anything. Mostly LS1 Guys in Arizona it seems like.

I've got one too. Its ready to go and I coated it with oil so no rust. It is very heavy so shipping could be rough. Let me know if you need it.

A stock LT-1 crank is not specific to just LT-1 motors as you may or may not know. In other words, ANY quality "one piece rear main" crank will work, so look for a crank that is from an '87 (I believe) or newer SBC. This widens your search a lot.

I can ship it to Tucson for $180. Its out of my 97 TA(1 owner) that ran perfect when I removed it so I know it is in good shape. It has about 110,000 on it so it will need to be miked and polished. It is just sitting in my garage so I can ship it out fast. Let me know.

BTW it weighs approximately 75 pds on the curl meter. LOL.

I've got one too. You'll pay more for shipping than finding a local salvage yard willing to part with one. If not we're all here to send you one take your pick.

You must be a Walmart shopper. LOL. I figured it would cost me about $60 to ship. So $120 is not a bad price for an LT1 crank. I will bet you like to coc block at the bar too.

Thanks for the responses guys. I figured shipping would be pretty expensive. I was dumb back when I bought my extra block. I was planning on doinf a stroker at the time and i turned down the rotating assembly for $25

Dont' be a dick, most of the lt1 FI guys are budget shoppers now. I've got one I would gladly give you but the shipping would still be bad.

Your right I should keep my political views of Walmart out of here. However, I don't think it is right for someone(dookie454) to give me a hard time because I posted a price for an lt1 crank that he/she thought was too high or could undercut. I don't want to give up my crank for free because at some point I plan on using it again for another 355 rebuild with my spare block. I personally think that GM stock cranks are higher quality and are held to closer tolerances than alot of aftermarket cranks. So my "crank" is worth alot to me.LOL
