Well the time has come Where can get one at a reasonable price i located these guys anyone know thim? http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product.phtml?p=1894
Thats just a rotating assembly....you will still need all the machine work on the block,balancing and assembly....unless you are doing it yourself you might want to look into a short block.
Pretty sure you can do a K-1 crank and rods with Wiseco pistons for just a hair under 2k with bearings and rings.
Whoops.....that was a forged 6.1.....looks like the prices went up on the 426 stuff. They are all about the same price now.
Hay Hemi31 Thanks for your help and for being there when no one was:salut: Looks like i'm going to order from Livernois Motorsports today got it for $2599.00 Custom Livernois Forged Steel Stroker Crankshaft >>>Which is Mfg. by callies Diamond Forged Pistons Diamond Rings, Locks, and Wrist Pins Manley H-Beam Rods w/ ARP 2000 Bolts Clevite Tri-Armor Coated Bearings Limited One Year Warranty
^^^ yup, heard of them, but never any experience with them, hence, no answer. I got my 4.090 x 4.050 426cui stroker rotating assembly direct from Callies. Mahle piston, Compstar crank and rods... Paid just about what you paid from LMS
Thanks for the reply Quick. look there's so many guys here with the 426 one could have at least answer but it's ok it's all taken care of i ordered from Livernois Motorsports today and got it for $2599.00 So now i'll be waiting anxiously till it comes in:drunk:
My appologies Jim. I have no experience with their rotating assemblies, so no input. But I have seen their original head work and it wasn't very good. But I know they learned from their mistake and are correcting the parts too.
Right on Jim, whatta ya do if you don't mind me asking. Which springs and at what pressure did you install them at. Did you use locators or the stock dampers??. Sorry for all the questions, I got a thing for dialing in heads. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH the rest of you STFU!. oh:
The issue here was not that anybody has (or had) a 426 but no one has built one from a purchased rotating assymbly. If you have access to a good machne shop (that has the proper machines for engine rebuilding) that will do the work for a good price, then it is the most affordable way to go. The biggest pia here is ring gapping. There is a science to this also. It is the 1 part of building an enigne that I hated. ..
File to fit...fun fun! If you are properly set up, it's not a big deal. With a hand turned wheel, it's a bear. I've been that guy...built a short block in one night, assembled the pistons, filing the rings (by hand) and installing the rotating assembly in the block....began with the sun up, ended with the sunrise.
no need to send out the work i have a large machine shop and also have a high performance mechanic employe that has ton of experlence in our cars that works on my car and will be doing the 426 work:friends:
