    ls7 crank?

    can this be used as a stroker crank for any lsx build? I might have found a deal on an ls7 crank that need to be re surfaced. I know it will hold the power I'm looking to make out of my next build. I'm planning an aluminum 383 from an ls1 block.

    as far as I know its the same, but I know there are some non interchangable parts between the gen 3 and 4 engines so I figured I would check.

    Thanks guys

    Reluctor wheel on the crank might need to be changed if memory serves. Dont trust me though.

    i think the snout of the crank is different, has something to do with the dry sump oil pump. So I don't think they are swapable without alot of machine work. The reluctor wheel is easy to swap if you have the alignment tool. It has to be positioned a certain way or bad things will happen..
