Mopar 400ci with a cast crank and 4 speed , 65 b-body and 11 inch slicks....crank broke on the line after a 5500rpm launch, it was prepared by an excellent machine shop in Al that built a number of IHRA stockers...some with cast cranks.......just my experience. You have been enlightened. Last edited by treessavoy; 03-25-2009 at 11:49 PM. |

Built a 295/350 SS motor with a cast crank back in the early 90's, never had a problem with the crank.

My experience may have been an aberration because I've known a bunch of people that have had great success with cast cranks. Hell, I watched a Hemi 4-speed guy blow 3 separate pieces of crank out underneath the car when he dropped the clutch...ouch! Jim |

Re: steel or cast crank for Stock Eliminator?
I am still running the same Crank,Rods & Block That Woodro Josey Built me in 1994,The Crank is Cast & has at least 2000-2500 Passes on it,Listen to Bub he has a very good Reputation,I know I have been pushing my luck with the Rods so I am putting new Rods & Pistons in before I run it thisYear,But a good Cast Crank will Last.

Also, don't know if you remember me. You did a set of iron LT1 heads (the first ones you ever did at the time if I remember correctly ...) for my Impala SS to run in Pure Stock when I lived in NC. I sold that car but it went on to set a National Record in IHRA. Thanks. Scott |
