3.58 stroke cast crank in a 340
« on: April 16, 2010 - 05:30:21 PM »
Been looking for factory steel 340 cranks but now wondering about using a Mopar cast crank with a 3.58 stroke but 2.5 inch 340 mains.

The forged cracks are over $1,000--no can do--but for $400 Summit has a new PM..Scat makes them too but with cross drilled mains which I hear can starve the rod bearing of oil at high rpms.

How much power / rpms do most think it be good for--I guess any 360  stock stroke pistons will work to

Manici Racing has them a bit cheaper and calls them H.D. cranks

I have a stock crank that I don't need. Not sure if it's gonna need machining, I haven't spec'd it, but if you want it I'll sell it for real cheap. I don't need it.
