I have 181 cranks, 1 nos, 1 used

The used one is odd... labeled, "sm Mag journal". The FW side takes a different, smaller bearing than the new one.
The used one is for the first year 181, 1982

Found 2 more, later 181- 288, one cleaned up, 1 not
501 81 61-01

395 shows as a different pt#, 537 series. Are they the same as the 394- 181?

Are you able to measure the approximate distance from center to center of the rod?
On a 460 I'm at approximately 2.450".
If I can find one that length or anything up to 2.700" I'd be golden... well, as long as the small end is for a 13mm pin.

 

[Woodwackr]

Which one?
On the early 181, 2 13/16, 69.6mm, approx
Same on the later ones
Duh…pins are 13mm, sorry

Let me get it out of the box. How much do you want to pay. I doubt very seriously that I'll ever use it

That's about .100" longer than I would like... but, I have pistons that might help offset... or I could machine a pinned spacer...
As much as I would hate destroying an OEM crank, this may be a viable option.
If you're willing to sell it, what would you need for it?

What's a fair price that you and I can live with? Hell, I like bartering as well. So, you tell me.

 

[trooney]

It was bought as a 394 crankshaft

Ok, it's China made... now I won't feel as guilty when I remove the rod...
$30?

Thank you.

One of the newer used ones should suffice.
Anything to trade?
One of the nos kits like I have is on ebay for $300, lol
