Cheers for the help everyone, especially 3x-puursui7, but it's at a stage for me now where I've decided to pull it out and get another crank in there. Mechanic is going to do it for bugger all if I'm in no hurry to do it, which I'm not.
I've worked out I can't afford the 347 at the moment cos the missus new car must take priority, so she tells me!

Thats a bummer Chad, I'd speak to a few places such as Ierace Automotives, BPT etc, someone must have a std 5.0L crank floating about left over from a stroker build.

Yeah Dave,
They got hold of a crank for bugger all from the dude that does all their cranks, so it's not too bad. They're also doing the work in their own time and doing whatever they can to make the pain as bearable as possible to my back pocket. Alcohol seems to have such great value in times like this.

Not as glad as me Shannon! hehe
I was really hoping to get the wideband lambda and data logger fitted on these couple of weeks off. And the new maf. Head off to work for another 4 weeks so it'll be 10 weeks without driving it by the time I get back next. The good thing is the drags will be back on so I'll be able to get straight into it and see what else I can break.
