Okay great I have a 69 340 crankshaft some standard board domes and I have an extra set of 70 340 rods
Chris are you interested in those 15 x 7 Wheels I will split the shipping 300 and I will split the shipping with you let me know thank you
They are very nice no curb rash and the holes are nice as well okay Chris if I still have them next Thursday I will hit you up so we can do the deal on Friday thank you

Ok good and thank u
He said of course metal prices are up so he just raised cost recently
What's the cost of these spacers?
Hughes wants $450.
If I understand @1Badcolt right, Ram racing wants $388.
I have considered these a way back when I could not find a good 340 block for use. This would be a good alternative to use that small journal crank in a 360/5.9.
(Part of a car & parts deal, buy it all or nothing.)
I have a forged MP 3.45 stroke crank that is a small journal crank with the forged MP con rods & pistons. Essentially this came to me for free. It would be great to use it but the pistons are 4.03. These crank spacers solve that problem.
It makes for a 352 cid engine. Some balk at the idea of going down 8 cubic inches, or more since the block is being bored out .030. Which would be a 365 CID. But the cost of redoing a 360 w/equal parts or saving money by reusing the cast crank is a lot of money considering, again, this was free.
Making use of this crank in a small crank journal block, I can not use the pistons it came with. At 4.03, that’s smaller than a stock 340 @.010 & would require a 318 to be bore really really far! I’m not searching for a 318 to go from 3.91 to a 4.03! That’s a .120 overbore. Yikes!
Putting this crank in a 318 or better yet a 340, would, I believe require a custom piston which would be around that 1K mark. I say, no thank you. But it would create an interesting engine displacement.
3.45. x 4.1 = 364 cubes.

Nice info and thanks !!
U are correct on pistons just like my 3.20 stroke crank in current build it also required custom pistons.
I have many sets of those old
(LITE) weight 340 Trw dome pistons and many early 360 blocks so a well known member has my 360 block and he will get started on this engine after Christmas
Basically using steel 68 340 crank and Molnar 6.123 rods and those lite weight domes to make a 340 .
pishta
I know I'm right....
wow, I thought the spacers were long gone. Hamburger used to sell them. For $450 you could buy an Eagle crank that may fit.
True - but I would rather use my US made steel one already owned
9.50 lbs per CI
In my group also so weight is a concern
