  • You know some people will tell you that in the performance market you need to lighten up the items to make more power.  Now in my world, when I make my parts lighter they break to hell.  I think that is because my motors make big power.

  • This is one of the Failure prone areas that we used to destroy years ago.  I used to think it was a design flaw in the block.  Now I realize it was a design flaw in the magazines I was reading.  Garbage in and Garbage thinking in my Brain.

  • I realize that the rear main is kinda really rusted to shit.  I really want to spend some time and make this a unique crankshaft.  Say a Retro 389 Stroker Super Duty Dual Quad Motor with all the neat Hard to find stuff.  I got all that.

  • Here is the front casting mark.  Well this would be the coolest item to put into Jim's 389 but he would have to spend cubic money.  He seems to want to settle with an Arma Steel Stocker Crankshaft.  I got one  off my shelf for him today.  I will  shoot...
