Indy LA-X vs. Eddy heads

There is a belief out there that the 318 FORGED truck crank is stronger than the the OEM 340 crank...

There was a crank called a 318-3 crank that was suppose to be the best factory part as far as cranks go. Shepard mentioned it in one of the old books. So you are correct!:)

I do not know how much stronger, and I would imagine the week link would still be the 2 bolt block and main caps at that point anyway...
