Does anyone know of an aftermarket crankshaft for the 3800II (L36) in my 97 camaro?? I am looking at a rebuild and the only cranks I can find are the re-machined "factory" stroker ones.

Does anyone know of a billet or forged replacement with any of the following: lighter weight, stronger, better alloy??

Does anyone know if the cranks from the new 3800III (L32, L29) will fit in a RWD L36, and if so are they an upgrade??

Regards

You can ship out a stock crank and get it cryo-treated. That makes it about 4 times stronger. A great company that does this is www.diversifiedcryogenics.com. They also freeze brake rotors, so they'll never warp. Its cheap too. Check it out, well worth it.

 

Yeah if you looking for long lasting bullet proof parts cryo is the way to go.

What ever you do dont buy one from 3800performance.com
there cranks are prone to fail.

 

So what you guys are telling me is there is no aftermarket cranks made for our cars. Does anyone know about Series III cranks: are they better and are they compatable with our Series II 3800.

Thanks guys aboout the cyro tip. I will definately look into it!!
