I cracked my Eagle crank...

The convertor fit to the flexplate just fine and went into the trans pump just fine. I do not know how much off center the hub was welded though. There were NO vibrations or odd noises until it started thumping, it literally sounded just like a diesel engine. The pump bushing WAS destroyed, three times. I had taken the trans apart after every time the hub cracked, when I sent the convertor out, I had assumed the “professional” company had repaired the part properly. I hate assuming, but at this point, assuming is all I can do when thinking that the convertor was welded off center the first time it was rebuilt and every time I ran it, the vibrations had just compiled into the snap. I did not change the engine oil between any of the trans/convertor disassemblies, so I did not notice any shavings in the oil.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. But I couldn't help but wonder.....if the converter was assembled off-center, wouldn't it have been difficult to bolt up to the flexplate and then wouldn't it have taken out the converter bushing and/or trans pump before the crank?

Not taking sides, just trying to be objective and consider all the possibilities.
