Many of you have followed the saga of my 490. In a nutshell 3yrs,8runs,4dyno runs have cost $$$$$$ from original build,2 rebuilds including welding and hard chroming the crank and now it sits with a 6" x 6" hole in the block.
However, as I look at the crank through that hole it looks like it might just need to be turned to be OK. Then all I would need is some nice rods(with 7/16" Bolts!), one new piston/ring set, bearings and a new 400block.So, am I outa my mind for even considering using the crank again?? I feel it is mocking me, but I am not sure if it's because of not making it work or thinking I should try one more time. HEEEELLLLPPPPPP ME!!!!!! Phil

ONLY because I just sold my 3.875" billet crank, you should try re-using yours.
 If, of course, it cleans up nice. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
