[Chimjunkie]

Anyone out there got a crank sitting about for a 500 Serpentine RV8?

Cheers.

Try Dave Porter he has some IIRC.

There are serps with mainly small journal cranks AIUI, but there are some big journal (ie later xbolted block size) so you need to be clear which block you want one for. As well as needing rods & pistons to match....

Pretty sure the engine is x-bolted. You recon the rods and pistons need changing too rather than just an appropriate set of bearing shells on the replacement crank?

I'd stop before you get yourself into a mess if I was you

There are x-bolted small journal as well as large journal in TVR worlds. The pistons will come through the heads if you don't change the length's heights for the stroke....

Small journal X bolted block. But it came from V8D originally

Bloody hell the RV8 gets stranger before TVR ownership I had absolutely no idea there was so many variations the intermediate motors are the killer as far as I am concerned

Do you have a problem with your engine then?
