Whats better,grinding a crank or line boring?

John I agree. This machinist has decent head building equipment,a computerized balancing program but thats realy as far as Id trust him.I will have the stuff shipped to Waneta across the border.There is a gas/postal service right there,about a ten minute drive. I have had many parts shipped there before. It will save me huge amounts of money.

I ALWAYS declare my crap at the xing,have no desire to be fined,thrown in jail and my vehicle confiscated...the tax is a minor inconveinience compared to that.

As for assembly,port work,clearancing,smoothing the block etc I can do all that.

My brother lives close to mission dragstrip. He is a mopar guy so might know something good. I have heard there is a Dvorack? machine shop that is top notch and knows mopars on the coast. Maybe someone from the coast can speak up...


Wilde,the issue is not how much rpm it can handle but how much hp it can take. Most folks reccomend no more than 600 and 650 is pushing it. 700 and you better start to worry.

My hp level will be 650 easy. I dont like leaving expensive parts on the ground so I want to build it once and build it right.$300 more for a good crank is a small price to pay compared to how much it will cost if I blow up the motor.

I guess I will have to sell the stock crank now...
