Crank decision

[IROOST1]

I keep reading that i should buy an ebay crank because they are cheap. Then i hear that the hot rod cranks weld cracks, so what the point. And im not going to pay more 200 buck just for parts for new bearings, seals, and rods/bearings not including labor to have them put on the stocker. So whats the cheapest and best way to go>>>......................................

get a hotrod... they come welded and theres no need to reweld it, its fine the way it comes. some will disagree but your not running a 10mil cub and thorwing out 100 hp so your about 90% safe of not seperateing your crank.

If your talking stock stroke, I have a crank out of an 04 that has been welded and is ready to run that I will sell you for 145 shipped. Thats the cheapest way to go, plus the stock cranks are as good or better than hot rods imo and also the opinion of alot of builders.

BS...

Spend the extra 40 to 70 bucks and have a reputable builder do it right, and if you can...get a maxload or TZ bearing installed on the PTO side.

 

You don't need a 10 mil cub to push 100HP...

 

A 4mil will do that all day long with the right carbs, pipes, compression and timing.

 

Or you could just spend about a grand and get a Twister Crankshaft...no need to weld those....

 

I'll agree with 04le...stock stroke, stock welded cranks are just as good...and that's a fair price for it, as long as the bearings are in good shape (I'm sure 04le wouldn't sell it otherwise... )
