does any one remember about 20 years ago hot rod mag, had an story about a 440 with a Keith black stroker crank producing 900 foot pounds of tork at 6000 rpm, I now have the same 440 with this same crank bought 20 years ago by my brother in law, when he got the motor home he had found the crank had a hair line crack at the snout where the balancer goes on, the crack runs up the snout not around it, why can't this be v-ground and then welded then run a lite weight balancer, this motor was in a running car when he bought it, 20-years ago, and has been setting since, I got the short block from him a couple of days ago, it's a 440 block,K&B stroker crank 5/8 inch stroke , hemi rods, 400 piston, deep oil pan and a milodon oiling system, So if it runs 1-1/4 mile or 50 what have I got to loose
