What are you trying to build that requires that piece?

If its a fake engine, have a look at some of the older studded sets. The ones during the transition from studs to studless might be good, like 8448.

I'm away from my pieces right now, but a pair of these might be a good start if you are trying to use the piece for something else. I believe the cross holes should line up with the outer most hols on the Pin Connector Block.

First seen in Crowkillers models. Or slightly different with a 12t gear enclosed:

 

That is the one I used a lot, before I acquired an overabundance of the other ones. It was the only way I could ever figure out that lined up just right. On a side note set 76086 has a bunch of them in black and set 75177 has a bunch in light gray.

What about something like this?

Relies on gravity, if I'm not mistaken. I would use a better secured option.

It uses two sets of 2x1 triangles formed into a kite - the LBG pieces are half connectors so everything seems locked to me?

Correct. Here's the LDD file for anyone interested: https://bricksafe.com/files/mocbuild101/mocbuild101/V4 Engine without Frames.lxf

Aha, my mistake. But even then I wouldn't build an engine that relies on it's own crankshaft to stick together. It would incline unnecessary friction to the crankshaft.

I made some renders of all variations on Crowkillers frame I know of. Varying from the simple version to versions that enclose a gear (8t/12t, 16t/20t, 24t) to drive the engine. Note that the variations from left to right in the first image correspond to the variations from right to left in the second image.

http://bricks.argz.com/ins/8422-1 check out the engine of the dragster b model for 8422 released in 1995.

Never seen that one before. It's great! The half pins on one side are quite essential.
