Who's using one of their forged cranks? Comments? Anyone trying the little 3.75 stroke forging?

Tempting prices for sure.

just a little heads up tom "CALL" ohio crank they had some typos on the web site. all but a couple are for bbc rods.:cell:

I've been using one of their Nodular cranks and H beam rods (3.25"x 4.21")going on 3 years now and the workmanship and clearances were/are top notch and exact.
when I spring for a forged, they'll probably be the ones I'll look to first.

What,no forged 4" stroke cranks,,,where's the love for the 4" stroke cranks???

One lowly cast 4" stroke offering...

:confused2 :-ohwell:

I sold about 20 of their Billet cranks. Good pieces............... for the most part. No longer available. Just make sure you mic it first before you do any work.

Any 3.25" Main forgings for us low-$ fellas that have kept their large-journal blocks together THIS long?

Yes HIS. #44554210 is a 3.25 main stock stroke forged crank.

Thanks, But your still a Douche bag!!:thumbup:

X2.

BTW I'm sure they are making a profit on it too. Shame on them!

No 4.00"
 

I talked with Stan a few weeks back about 4.00 forged cranks. His response was lets see how we fair with what we have offered. I have a 4.25 billet from Ohio and a 4.00 forged from Scat. I have nothing but good things to say about Ohio Crankshaft.

65************GTO,

You "ring" either one of those cranks to see how they sound?
Just wondering.

What does the steel look like Dark? shiny? etc on the counterweights

Self admission is the first step to recovery...but in your case, it may be hopeless. How's the library in Columbus today? Check out any good books lately?

As Ken said check it first! My machine shop has said EVERY aftermarket crank for every company has had issues somewhere that they use so they check them all every journal. Snouts like the original Eagles. Rod journals out of taper or too big a radius.

Do they really offer a forged 3.75 stroke crank???

According to the original poster with a Chebby rod. According to him some of the ad stuff is wrong on the rod journal size.

Skip, according to Moldex, my 4.0" stroke IA-2 crank checked out perfectly.

Tom V.

If the 3.75" stroke crank came with a BBC rod journal that would hafta be the most bone-headed thing I've ever heard of in the pontiac world!!!

Why in the hell would anybody offer a crank that would'nt be able to use the multitude off "off the shelf" pistons that exist already,and instead require mods to those existing pistons or a custom piston or rod to use???

That would cut the market to virtually zero instantly for those cranks.

I'd bet $$$$ the 3.75" stroke forged crank uses the stock rod journal.

:huh:

He never stated which listings were right and which were wrong,he just said "call Ohio crank"...

I think you read too much into his comments Tom.

I'll call them tomorrow but does anyone know if their forged 3.25 main cranks are available yet? Thanks!

lol
