The last time I sent parts to Germany I shipped them to Casino
ViVa Las Vegas Nevada
Dan then smuggled them in luggage to the homeland....
A crankshaft might not be so EZ
Keep the Shiny Side UP

IF things don't work out with 11971four4two, I have 425 cranks, as well as a complete '67 425 TORO engine. Thanks, Bob.

 

Thanks for everybody , perhaps I found something in Germany but this is not sure
so I give you update in couple day
thanks
Wojtek

 

All 1965-67 Olds 400 and 425 motors used the same crank, so any one of those would be a suitable donor.

 

This is a very Interested how many specialists are hier in forum and know about this technique
really fantastic
but what about heads for this engine …. is that only one number and one size??

 

Your engine would have come with big valve "B" heads. I have a pair of those if you're interested. Please let me know. Thanks, Bob.

 

Bob thank you very much !

 

Hallo again
so now I need for my "new" engine new pistons with 0.03 oversize - high compression .....
do you have any idea where I can get it ? new pistons rings of course too ....
I learn a lot about this engine
thanks for the help!
Wojtek

 

I believe that I still have a set of 0.030" forged "ultra high compression" pistons for a 425. Rings are no problem; same as 455. I'll check.

 

That would be great if you had this Pistons! !!!
Can you check it and tell me if it’s really what I need
If you are right, I would like to take it .
Greeting from Germany

I'll look for them. Thanks, Bob.

 

hallo Bob
I hope that find this pistons
actually is one friend of my brother from Milwaukee in Florida and he could pick up pistons and .... give you cash
thanks
Wojtek

 

If you still need the crankshaft I have one in NW Illinois. (not to far from Milwaukee) PM me their contact information and we can set something up.

 

So, am I to assume that you are starting with a different engine and you no longer need a crankshaft and/or cylinder heads. Thanks, Bob.

 

Hallo Bob
i’m sorry, you didn’t understand me
I’m looking still for a new Pistons with oversize 0.03

but Crankshaft and another pieces are already completed.

so can you check it, if you have this oversize pistons?

Thank you very much
Wojtek

 

Understood. Thanks, Bob.

 

Bob … pistons are the most important parts in my project. You are probablythe only one man who has it
It is a very important the oversize of. 0.03
greeting
Wojtek

 

how could this happened ??
what was the problem ?

 

That's impressive. Obviously the piston ring cracked and that short section got wedged sideways, destroying the piston and causing other carnage.

 

so guys ... small update
all parts are completed , and this is a big problem now to send this to Europe
after 8 weeks !!! I found a corporation and I try to do this in this way , another 15 corporations can't do it (?)
express shipping with airplane from Milwaukee with DHL to Amsterdam,
but now is everything in Cincinnati 2 weeks and we wait for ??? nothing, no possibility to check that all tax is payed, everything ist payed ...
It should be at 23.05 in Germany .... till now nothing,
so I wait for that all, my garage is with engine finished and completed prepared for the rebuilt and the summer ist not so far ...
best greeting
Wojtek
