What parts of an XB12 crank would either have to be adapted/modified to use in a Blast, or could you use parts from the XB12 crank to stroke the Blast crank? Stroking the Blast - what clearencing areas would I be looking at? So they had to clearence the XB case to fit the XB12 crank? Inquiring minds wish to know - lol Got Thump?!

An XB uses the "new" style sprocket shaft arrangement, i.e. a needle bearing cage and a thrust washer. A Blast uses the old arrangement, i.e. a pair of tapered bearings with a spacer in between them to set end play. You're better off to start with a tuber crank. | ||

Alright - so what crank would I be looking at as a substitute, and what would I have to do to make it work? GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

start with a call to TRUETT & OSBORNE about stroker flywheels. but if it was my blast, i think i would just go big bore. sputhe and axtell both make 3-13/16 bore jugs.this would bump displacement up to 35 inches. | ||

I'm looking for stroke as well - lol GT - JBOTDS!  | ||

Halfaharley is looking for this winters project, and I want to keep my options open for next years winter project! This winter I just plan to ride, improve my skills, and finally dog the black with some track days after I upgrade the suspension with some Works pieces front and rear, and maybe some wave rotors - I'll will be getting to that soon - lol Got Thump?!

EZ Why don't you just buy a Blast thats got all the goodies plus a spare motor.  Eric  | ||

Cause that would be four sitting in the garage! I already have a spare parts Blast (for that Blast hardtale;0)), plus the Black and Red! - lol - have to save some room for that XB in my future! As it is the cars have been evicted to the street! Got Thump?! Just Blasting on the Dark side! EZ  edited by ezblast on November 14, 2003 | ||

Back to the question - to use the XB12 crank I would have to machine the case to accept different bearings - anything else - the case would be open for milling for larger juggs anyway, whats one more step - lol - any other things that would need modifying?
