How about some Chrysler flathead 6 sped parts, though? Not the Plymouth/Dodge 6 that was known in my parts as "the engine with the lead crank" because they were soft.

More internet crap.......all of those 'soft' cranks were forged and some of the best pieces made by any of the manufacturers.
I'm betting that a disgruntled shiverlay sort needed to make his-self feel better about his old dip-n-throw...


So why were they notorious for breaking cranks like my '56 did? Broke at the rear main journal.
