Will i have any issues with a itr crank in a ls block???If not, any advantages or dis advantages???

 

you can do it, but why? the itr block already has oil squiters and a block girdle, the ls doesnt. And if you already have the ls block, just keep it, and take advantage of the longer stroke (89mm from 87.2 for the ITR). The only benefit i can see is the slightly better r/s ratio of the ITR 1.58 (i think) instead of 1.54 for the ls, which isnt that big of a deal.

 

advantage...you can say you have a heavy *** ITRRRR crank in your engine

disadvantages: loss of power, waste of money, doing work for nothing

 

Well my deal is i have a Ls block that is sleeved and bored .20 over, but no crank. I also have Arias 12.5 to 1 pistons(2 sets .20 over). Than i have a 96 jdm ITR in my car. Basically i was thinking I'll just use the itr crank but it seems I'd be better off just buying a new crank and selling the itr.

 

Any one ever use the eagle lightweight cranks?

 

eagle cranks are designed improperly.

if you really want an aftermarket crank..go with crower.

but i'd still suggest getting an OE LS/b20 crank

 

Thanks for the info, i'll give crower a call

 

One more question, what would be the better oem crank, ls or b20?

 

they're the same, as far as i know

both are forged cranks with 89mm storke

 

Thanks again

 

no prob

good luck on the project

Never knew this! I have heard it the other way around; LS crank and rods in an ITR!

 

How much does a ITR crank weigh?
a GSR weighs 35lbs
and a LS weighs 34.5lbs
