yup. months and months for a Magnum ls7 4.250 stroker crank. Then it was wrong and we had to wait for a new one.

I think that they sent the wrong part number. HPR build my engine so it didn't come to me, but I think I remember being told they sent the wrong one.

Hmmm, HPR doing my engine now. Been there way too long! Looking for any machine shop /engine builders for response. There are at least 12 engines sitting on stands there.

The price difference between a Compstar and a Magnum crank is $2600.00 not exactly small change there Apex cranks with a 4.25 stroke won't be rolling out until around October (hopefully). Compression on this engine will be somewhere in the ballpark of 11.8:1 to 12:1.
