Cylinder damage found while stripping new 440 before the machine shop

[RustyRatRod]

ive been searching ebay for an hour now with no luck if you have some links for these forged crankshafts for under 200 that would be great.

I didnt say forged. You did. You didn't have a forged one to begin with. A cast one will take 600 HP. Are you gonna make that much?

Yeah, I'm seein that a lot around here.

prolly not gonna make that much somone before you had suggested forged. ya those in syracuse are only like 4 hours from me i'll have to check em out.

 

[Hemirunner]

If those don't work out, mine will probably be somewhere near $250 shipped to your door. Last time I shipped a crank it was nearly $100.....

 

[RustyRatRod]

I went back and made sure, but I never suggested forged. Have you tried your local Advance Auto Parts? You can probably get a reground one ready to go for less than 200 with bearings.

 

[adk-roadrunner]

sorry rusty i knew you didnt suggest forged i confused what you wrote with what somone else wrote. I do have an advance auto parts 20 minutes from me i will give them a call and see what they can get

so for 312.00 advance has a reman #2206160 reground with matching bearings.

Crapamaggot. I got one for my 318 for 162. Dammit. Check with them and see if it's forged.

it is forged i believe i ran the number online. problem is it requires a core and im guessing they are not gonna take my cast crank in return.

I got 100 bucks says they'll never know the difference.

 

[adk-roadrunner]

i wonder if they will look at the cast number i could cover it with grease or somthing lol. i could try and if they notice say oh sorry nevermind then. really not too bad of a deal im sure it has a warranty as well my machine shop charges 120 for crank regrinding and i would have to buy bearings as well. I am gonna keep looking for a while but could work if they dont notice the cast crank

so I checked advance auto again the reason it shows as a forged crank is because i searched 73 roadrunner 440 which apparently is forged. my engine is a 78 440 i searched that and its 180.00 for the cast crank. I guess I just have to decide which one I would really want.

I'm with Rusty. Get a good cast crank and move on. Put the extra money where it will be noticeable.

 

[adk-roadrunner]

it is nearly twice the cost the money definitely could be used elsewhere.I wonder what the quality of the bearings will be from advance auto.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Mine were Clevite.
