20 years ago my brother in law bought a 440, K&B stroker crank, Hemi rods 400 pistons, It was in a running car, full body charger all interior running 10.2, he brought it home and wanted to put new gaskets in it, he found that the crank has a hair line crack at the snout, it runs up the snout not around it, motor has sit ever since he lost interest in it because of the crack, I got the motor a couple of days ago and want to run it, I feel that the crack can be v-ground and welded then run a lite weight balancer, this same set-up was in hot rod mag back then, and they claimed the motor made 900 foot pounds of tork at 6000 rpm
