Crankshaft question
In stock eliminator is it legal to turn a large journal crank down to a small journal crank. What about reducing the main size?

Re: Crankshaft question
Some gentleman running stock have reduced Main size (Ex:360/2.81 down to 2.50
and use a 340 block in mopars). The low RPMs of most stockers = I think it is a waste of time as well as total illegal My .02

Re: Crankshaft question
Are the early 360 blocks, 71, 72, still in demand?

Re: Crankshaft question
Absolutely Larry!
The casting # must start with 34 or 36. If Std. they are worth $500.00 every day of the Week. I am hoarding a couple for spares for my new Ram Truck that is almost done. Look out Tree = Here I come!
