wanted: new crankshaft for a '72 Datsun 240Z

I froze the motor to my '72 Datsun 240Z, and now I know why...I spun the crankshaft bearing on my #1 piston. the bearing pretty much "liquified" the bearing, and it froze the motor overall. I want to get a new crankshaft, but I can't find one anywhere. if any one has a brand new crankshaft, or knows where to get one, please let me know!

I don't have a new one but I have a used one from a 240Z engine I have parted out. Please let me know if you are interested in it. It was pulled from a good running engine, there was no smell of burnt oil when it was opened up so by all accounts this is in good condition. Plus it will be WAY cheaper than a new one.

I am really open on the price, just make me a fair and realistic offer and I'm sure it will be yours.

I'm going to go and see how much it will be to get the crank ground down and have some oversized bearings put on, or I might end up going to pick n pull and getting a full motor, I'll keep you updated.

If for some reason you don't want a 240Z crank I also have a crank from an NA '82 280ZX.
