Project 6-71 340 Demon

Jack, will you be using full groove main bearings and what intake manifold?

We all know to run extra piston ring gap with boost.
I havent seen a Mopar crank fail using a single keyway. But a cast crank with a single keyway might be asking for a problem.
SB chevies cranks crack quite often in a Roots 71 blown application. Not the keyway, the whole crank snout cracks. It takes alot of HP to turn that blower. Also, the closer you keep your pulleys to the damper the better off you are. The further out the pulleys are, the more leverage exists to add side load stress.
I wouldnt waste money on the girdle. The weak point is the head gaskets in a sb Mopar.

Yup, full groove bearings. I'm not sure on the intake yet as I still haven't decided on a blower yet. I am leaning toward getting a complete setup from Dean's Blowers. Rick seems to have a good rep and good prices.

I have a request in for the price of copper head gaskets at Gasket Works. We will see what they come up with.

I will be using a single V groove pulley setup to run the water pump and alt. so that should keep the pulley's in fairly tight.
