Ex Pro Stock Car.
Weber Carbs.
Light weight.
Dana.
Slant Sicks.

Haven't checked them real close, but didn't see any more piston smiley faces.You leak-checked all the valves & they're sealed tight?
Yes, bad crash, messed him up pretty bad.
What's the specs on the one coming out?Yea, I can save the cam, but I don't want to reuse it.
I am going with at least a .550 and a little more duration.
And a little more compression, and a little more everything!
The galled snout crank has the very large counterweight. 89 lbs.What's the specs on the one coming out?
Sorry, I meant the camshaft with the broken dowel.The galled snout crank has the very large counterweight. 89 lbs.
The smaller counterweight is 76 lbs.
I use the smaller crank register so I have to use those cranks for now.
You keep repeating small crank and big crank. So is this a cast crank engine?Just back from the crank trip.
Current machine shop doesn't do cranks any more.
So into the belly of the beast, downtown Dallas and over to Fair Park.
Engine rebuild business.
I dropped both small cranks, if the second one doesn't clean up, they will have a present.
I asked about the pilot bushing, oh, we don't do that.
I asked about a woodruff key, missing on one crank, oh we don't have those.
I asked about the snout on big crank, WOW, that looks bad, we don't fix those.
Smaller race shop on the way home removed the booger on the inside of the ROMEC damper.
They are going to drill the cam dowel out.
Now to fit my honing plate to the block to get it honed next week.
Forged.You keep repeating small crank and big crank. So is this a cast crank engine?
Yes, no room.Looks like you’re taking a pretty big jump up in cam duration.
254 > 272 @.050
No v/p clearance issues with that combo?
It looks like the big crank can be cleaned up enough to take a stock damper.how about Ohio Crankshaft to do the work. $$$ in $hipping though...
Ok, thanks. I leared-ded summfin new again. I knew there was a light and heave cast crank, but no idea there were two forged cranks.Forged.
The "BIG" crank was 92 lbs. on my scale.
The "Small" crank was 75 lbs.
Here are the center counterweight pictures.
When I was a kid decades ago, these were called Truck Cranks.
Here they are side by side, look at the center counterweight.

With the mass on that early HD crank, if You drop the clutch at 6K, You should carry the front wheels 60ft.!!!!Forged.

No, that ain't normal,....Cleaning parts and getting parts together.
Crank shop called on the junk crank, won't clean at 30, but I guarantee that engine was running.
He says it can be welded, I will get with him Thursday and see "How Much$".
I took the rings off the pistons.
The second rings have a weird carbon smiley face at 180 degrees from each other.
The rest of the ring is shiny and clean.
Not sure what would have caused that.
But I have never disassembled an engine with these few miles.
Top rings are shiny all the way around.
Maybe it's normal?
