The cranks are the same as a 440 crank and those aren't too bad. I paid $350 for a new Eagle 4340 4.15" crank a couple of years ago off ebay. Now finding a block for a reasonable price, that's tricky.




not quite true. a 440 crank will work, but it's a 6 bolt flange for the flywheel, whereas a hemi is 8.

if you choose to use a 440 crank, you just need to keep that in mind when buying a flywheel or flex plate.
