Are you just wanting an OEM Mopar 3.75" stroke?

It would be really hard to find a new OEM Mopar one today, or are you wanting something a little nicer?

Hello again Moparfolks,

Looks like 'NEW' stock 440 parts are few and far between nowadays?

No one makes a steel 440 crank and very few bushed 6.760 x 1.094 rods as well.

I did have a feeling this was the case so it strokers only from here on in.

Old engines could very easily have cranks that only need polishing.

You're not going to get a new stock stroke 440 steel crank, as those have all been gone for years. You can get a stock stroke billet, but I know that's not what you want.

The connecting rods are easy to come by in aftermarket.

I got an engine some years ago. Seller said it came out of a wreck. When the crank was checked it only needed a polish.
I have always thought, if it came from a wreck you knew it was running. Hadn’t been sitting for years.

If you want new, talk to Mancini Racing. And break out your wallet.

Good points and thanks for the replies.

Not everyone is running 440's down the track in anger.
This is for a friends very rare 1969 Charger 500.

Looked everywhere in the UK for a decent steel crankshaft and it looks like they is all gone!
$1149 for a stock replacement is plain crazy in my book.

But at least its new, but not factory original for a resto car.
Guess the stock 440 is a white elephant these days...

Well at least the eagle crank is higher quality and made of 4340 steel. The numbers matching fanatics would never know the difference. Expecting to find a NOS factory steel crank for less is unrealistic.

Maybe someone knows a place they can get a crank machined and sent to you? I agree 50 yrs later, I don't recall seeing a brand new RB steel crank...
