Crank

[aquickv6]

What are the current choices for a new crank for an off center 4.1 Stage II Block? I think I want the 3.625 stoke, unless there is a good reason not to go for the max cubic inches.

The only "Off the shelf" options are the Eagle crank (3.40 stroke) and the stock cast crank. Moldex , Scat or Crower will make any stroke you want in a custom billet crank. You can expect to pay around $2200 for a new billet crank.

I believe T/A Performance has 3.625 Crower cranks on the shelf. Cost is around $2400, if I remember correctly.

Anyone ever run into the "bad" cores lately? The ones with the wrong counterweight spacing? Are there any still around? Just wondering.

CRANKS

These are BMS #2550008 Cores. This is the core that all BUSCH, ARCA, ASA Crank Shafts that I have seen were made from. Thanks, Mike

Didnt the bad cores have the same part numbers as the good ones?

yes

With the experience that Moldex has with the Buick cranks I don't think I'd worry too much about it.

I agree, Moldex will determine if they are junk or not before they start.

bad cores

I had talked to whitey awhile back and the bad cores or early cranks are different because of the center counterweights. It was if they overlaped each other,cant remember if they needed to overlap to be good or not overlap. But that is the determination of whick is which.
