Very rare option

I've chased that knock before. I sold my neighbor a 455 for his 70 lemans, just a crank and block. He had the engine built locally by a well known guy. Thing was a runner dynoed at 520hp. Stock e heads, roller cam, etc. After 100 miles it started knocking. We had that effing trans out twice, flexplate magnafluxed, a new converter, the driveshaft balanced you name it. The car sat for two years and he finally got back on it. We pulled the engine and took it back. Yep the crank was cracked, had good oil pressure though.
