Thanks for the compliments guys. The crank is at the shop getting magnafluxed, checked for straightness, and cryo-treated. Opted against knife edging and coating it b/c these cranks are pretty damn smooth and narrow in the weights and have a rounded leading edge. Unlike chevy cranks that he showed me are over twice as thick and square edged. The 3 or 4 hp I "might" gain wasnt worth the $190. I can just jet up lol...

More goodies came today...The rods I've had for a while (Manley billet I-beams) and slugs are custom Diamond flat tops made for the 5.4 motor (.020 over). Should give me 10.5-10.8:1 depending on head gasket used and how much bowl work is done to the heads...

Stock Navi setup

New setup

Nice rods/pistons... for an old SUV motor.

How many grams are those rods?? Just curious, as they look huge.
