"If" anyone has access to a Lexus V8 crankshaft, IUZ....?, AND if it is forged, this may have potential to fit the RV8. Nominal stroke is approx. 3.3".  Got game ?  Thanks, roverman.

Art,

By "potential," do you mean $$$$? What are the lobe centers like?

Ideally, the Toyota crank is forged. AIR., bore centers are 4.180" ? Possibly weld a good used core, and re-grind to fit 4.240 b.c.  SBF raw forgings, have been used, and they are  4.360".  Onward, roverman.
