It appears from what I can tell that a new Evenfire forged crank takes 5-6 mos to make and costs ~ $2000-2500. Due to my stupidity, I didn't know that the new forged crank that I had for the last 3-4 months was Oddfire.

I just can't wait that long, so I guess I'll buy a GM crank from Dal for ~$500., and have it Cryo treated and maybe coated to make it as strong as I can. Since it will be well contained by the 4 bolt Bowtie block, do U guys think that is good enuf ?

Anybody know of other suppliers that might have a better cast crank than GM, or a better delivery on a forged one ? I'm afraid to use my old crank, because I threw a rod. Someone mentioned Crower, so I will try to check their website.

I don't know of anyone that will deliver evenfire steel cranks. Sorry that you've had to go down the road that so many of us have travelled... people tell you months... people place orders and the delivery date is pushed back repeatedly.

I'd check with McCoy, I believe he may have found a vendor that can actually deliver within a reasonable time period, and at a decent price (relatively speaking).

I had contacted a manufacturer in the UK last year.
They replied (quickly) and I lost that email.
Coincidentally they contacted me again last week inquring if I was still interested.

I have asked for a price quote for a single unit with delivery time and if there would be a discount for 2+ units.
You never know, it might be a good deal. But knowing the costs of items from Europe....I doubt it.

I'll post when I get the info back.

I recieved a quote from these guys at Farndon Engineering.
www.farndon.com
contact: Annerley Johnson

It was for 2500 lb/piece, delivery in 10 weeks. They would also need a drawing or sample part to produce.
That works out to about $1600 depending on what the current exchange rate is. Keep in mind there will also be some sort of importation tax.

Just another option.

I checked w Scat Cranks, and they don't have any Evenfire forged Sy/TY cranks. To build one, they quoted $2300. and 14 weeks.

I have EM'ed the Brit outfit (Farndon) for a quote and delivery time.

My bad..... :-?
I inverted the calculation, thanks Lynn, for pointing out my mistake.
With the current exchange rate the price would be, $3891. :cry:

Sorry for any confusion. I thought it was to good to be true.
