En16B Hardened and tempered Stamping one piece.

"stamping"? Hard for me to picture how you could stamp a crank?

Edit: Huh, they do.

interestingly, they stamp it with all three throw in a row, then twist to the 120° offsets.
Something about keeping the grain in line .....
Trident crank shafts don't fail even under Mr P.A.B.
They will wear out and be damaged by wankers, I've seen the splined L/H end where the drive sprocket sits twisted one full spline width (6 splines) but not broken.
The Trident main bearing journal is 48.5mm Dia, the Rocket 43.0 mm (there abouts)
The Trident and Rocket Beg end journals are about the same at 41.0 mm

Ok this is to the point I’m now in deliberation over whether not not to actually move forward with it.

I’m confident all the technicals are viable to do 2488cc with only crank and piston work.

It’s either stroke or knife edge, can’t do both, both will be treading into the unknown as far as I know.

I’ll decide one way or the other soon.

 

[Paul Bryant]

Why not do both ?

 

[Claviger]

Falicon doesn’t do both, they prefer to leave as much material as possible on the stroker cranks.

I’ve been working through it for a while, it was ironic to me you posted this thread right after I’d made a bunch of phone calls the week prior inquiring about it.

I’m still uncertain, not sure I am convinced the potential trade off is worth potential gains for anything short of a race motor.

Re trade offs, a guy who souped up Volkswagen motors, of all things, told me once, I can get as many hp as you want, just remember a dragster engine only has to last 4 seconds.
