Hi guys I need to find a useable crankshaft in the Washington area preferably or free plus shipping would be good too. Mark Burton who built my car did a father and son project with a EFI turbo 350 but the crank had issues so it’s been parked for 2 years as they can’t find a crank locally. Imagine a 800 Hp car siting idle as they can’t find a crank locally. send me a message or reply if you have leads on a crank to help them. It can be machined once they get it, no problem.
No he didn’t one up me, he’s doing great but it isn’t a competition. We both support all awesome buick projects. Mark is pumped to see his old car come to fruition as he imagined it when he started building it in the 80s.
Sean here's a complete 350 for $100, can't beat that. Take the crank, sell the rest and get your $100 back. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-engines-and-engine-parts/lethbridge/buick-350-engine/1596825689
thank you, I already have over a dozen 350s but I’m not eager to part any of them out so I may just buy that one to help mark. 5 hour drive away, not sure if it’s worth it.
Thanks! I parted out my favourite 350 a few years ago to help a fellow do a stroker 350 so I’m trying not to test all mine apart if I can help it. Heck I should call King Cranks, they have an original crank that Hugger (Ethan) gave them so then could develop the Buick 350 billet crank.
Thanks to my R&D anyone can now order a billet 350 crank any stroke for $2500 much less than I paid for mine. This is out of Marks budget however.
well there were a TON of 350s made, way more than BBB however they are normally crushed and often not saved at all. We will find a crank close to him or for low cost to allow shipping costs.
I have a complete 70 350 that I think I have sold as complete. If that falls through,I will separate it.
Still looking for a 350 crank to ship to Mark in Washington. It’s for his father/son car a turbo Skylark with EFI.
Sean, I know I have one here. I was gonna build a second motor with it but like the name of a local tavern 'Wuz Gonna'!! Where in Washington?
