Ohio or Molnar crankshaft?
Aside from the dastardly current administration causing a 25% increase in your crankshaft price, all in the name of not feeding our enemies, trying to balance the massive trade deficit, and protect American jobs....crankshafts are still quite affordable. Those of us who've been around a while can recall the days when the only choice for crankshafts were stock, welded-up stock, and really expensive aftermarket cranks.
I bought a Molnar crank this week (3.79" 340) and am pleased with the quality of it. It's definitely better than the 440 Source crank I used (for a friend's engine) some years ago. It's not as nice a Crower, but also less than half the price. My only question mark is why there are no knurling marks on the seal area but it may well be they assumed everyone would be using a rubber lip seal.
I bought this from Ray Barton...he told me it was the best of the lower-cost cranks. Next up would be a Winberg but that's a big jump in price.
