Standard or thicker?
Not being a m.a.
Have my own theories.
Just picking an experts brain 
BTY, if i was going to buy a crankshaft to go fast, it would be a 4" with 3" mains. |
Actually I was just supplying info if others wanted to use a .050 bearing. For everyday use. Not a problem. Under load or race conditions, I wouldn't recommend it.
I don't really see what people want in a $600.00 400 steel crank with 2.250 journals. But that's me The demand would be less then 10% of the totsl crank market. 99% of those 400 builds are midly stock or numbers matching anyway for my shop. A cast crank will take 650hp anyway. How many broken 400 cranks has anyone seen over the years. I have never personally seen or heard of one on this board in 8 years.
The rest I take their 400 blocks and turn them into either 4", 4.210 or 4.250 deals anyway. I don't see a big market for 3.75 cranks, especially when the 4" in a IA2 is the same as a 454. And will rev to 8500 nd live. Installing a 3.75 would be like the old 427 deal of the 70's.
This will go on untill the cows come home and don't see an answer or solution. Unless someone puts up the money for this crank. Period.
Let the journal wars continue. LOL.
