on the email i recieved back from the frenchtown flyer, he said that he would not worry so much about the crank, as he has over 1100 11 sec 1/4 mile passes on his, but he said that if running 10-15 PSI, i am going to have to do something for the head gaskets. he also said that ford made a turbo fleet of 300's.
well for your friends that build these race motors, what do they do for a stronger crank? forged units? if so, where do they get theres from? and how much are they?
and i wasn't saying i hadn't heard of the cranks breaking, i am just correcting you about what you said about it usually not LASTING that long (as in the 300) cause if someone read that alone, it could confuse them, and come on, no one wants durability confusion for there FAVORITE inline, no matter the make/model, most of these engines already suffer due to the lack of knowledgeable people for them, (parts availabitlity, tolerances, capacities, etc) thats why they came to this site, right? but thanks for the info thus far, its much appreciated
