400/450 stroker....Cheap parts, lotta work.

Buddy was an Oldsmobile nut, way back, when a 350 Rocket could be bought for $100, or so. Had a couple crankshafts lined up along the wall in his garage and evidently the dog or brother, knocked one over. It laid there what was supposed to have been a short period!, and relaxed to the point of it being junk. Picked up that crank and tried to set it upright and it would no longer sit on the rear flange, without falling, in the direction it was bent.
