    I got a new Lunati crankshaft for $130.00. What do you think? The company said they many more and would sell them reasonable. AL

    I was at their website, they have no listing. Was it custom made?? stock specs??

    130.00 isn't even bad, is it?

    Sounds way too cheap to be true!!!:Dou:

    The average crank from Lunati is about $1200 up for a 455 I think

    REMANUFACTURED NOT NEW!!

    Ok here is the deal its an old used crank redone!!! A Lunati crank is a crank that is Billit steel knife edged etc etc.

    It was only turned by Lunati!!


    Here is the link to the crank

    I am pretty sure I've dealt with that guy before.:TU: Seems like a good guy!!

    Judging by his location and ebay username, I think it's Keith Mease - Mease Performance Ent. They make twin turbo setups for Impala SS's.

    I traded him a 4L80e for a Vette 4-bolt LT1 shortblock a while back.

    I will not tolerate anyone that posts his first post as such. There is no excuse for what I just read. This board is NOT for someone to come inhere and spout trash off. Ebay is a high bidder wins thing if you dont like it either dont bid or bid higher.:af:
     
  10. Not so good looking in the feedback. 5 negatives, 26 positives? I wouldn't bid on his stuff myself, regardless of a recommendation. Scott, I'm glad you had a good experience with him.

    Mike, is something missing that was here before? :confused:

    Guys,

    The main journals on those cranks look really really small????


    Buyer Beware

    Jeff,

    The rod journal on a stock 455 Buick is 2.25 and the main is 3.25. If you look at the pictures the mian journal appears to be only slightly larger than the rod. Maybe its just me... But ask the seller to make sure.

    There was a 494 Buick for sale on ebay a while back. The components didn't look right so I asked for the STROKE, ROD LENGTH AND PISTON COMPRESSION HIEGHT. After adding up the numbers the piston would have stuck out of the block .100. So.. someone got the short end on that deal. I just say... buyer beware.

    Take Care
