Default Re: Welded crank

Ran a lot of Boss 302 welded strokers ran them to 10,000 rims at Cheby journal size, had cranks done any where from 3.20,3.25,3.30 and 3.40 stroke 2.00 dia. Lunati and Hank the Crank. Lunati were hard chromed.

I personally have no problem doing that, what do you serious motor people think?
