Does anyone know of a keyed hub I can buy...thunder racing has one (on back order) made by a co. in china.....does any one else sell one

 

CNC Cylinder Heads used to key stock LT1 hubs, but I'm not sure if they are still in business - the website hasn't been finished for years:

Thanks....tried them, no way to contact...let me know if you have a # for them....thanks

 

ATI sells both steel and aluminum keyed hubs. I suspect that they will only work with the ATI dampner but the quality is excellent.

 

thanks

 

Any decent tool and die shop shuold be able to put a key in a stock hub for you.

 

Thunder Racing used to sell modded stock ones, try thunderracing.com.

 

They still do. Here's the part numbers:
41-872049 Pioneer Keyed Crankshaft Hub, 1996-1997 LT1 F-body & 1996 LT1 Corvette Keyed Crankshaft Hubs $85.00

41-872015 Pioneer Keyed Crankshaft Hub, 1992-1995 LT1 F-body & Corvette Keyed Crankshaft Hubs $85.00

41-872016 Pioneer Keyed Crankshaft Hub, 1993-1995 LT1 Impala and Caprice Keyed Crankshaft Hubs $85.00

The site doesn't mention whether or or not they're in stock so give them a call.

Bought one from Jegs for my 95 not to long ago and it's excellent quality. Here are the links:

FYI - Your stock HBalancer/pulley will bolt right up (just have to pull the guide dowl pin)

Let me know if you need any advise or have any questions.

 

Hey guys thanks alot...The jegs piece looks good...thunder is out of stock

 

FWIW the jegs piece looks exactly like what i got from thunder.

 

Where would a guy index the key if he had the ability to key one himself?

 

Go to any autoparts store or even Ace Hardware and you can buy a bag of various sizes of keys. The stock crank has a key slot (just not key'd from the factory), but I am not exactly sure what size the stock key is so try different sizes.

FYI - if you meant key the hub, then pretty much any auto machine shop can do it for you ranging from 20-50 bucks depending up on their knowledge and prices.

 

Where would a guy position the key slot on the hub when keying a hub himself? I can slot the hub myself. Just need to know where to put it.

 

Mark where the empty slot is on the crank snout relative to the hub when you remove it and notch the hub there.
