If I knew I would tell you But I don't Maybe one of the machine shops or machinest can come up with that information If not try E mailing Kieth Black and ask them I've bought a bunch of thier early hemi crankshaft adapter rings to use late model torque converters on the early top fueler stroker cranks like your wanting to use Do you have a late model B, RB or 426 Hemi crank to use to measure off of? I can provide the late model crank flange thickness if you need that The part I would worry about is the distance from the back of the motor to the flywheel flange distance

Are you going to be happy with the cracks in this crank after you do all this work to make it fit?

I would be weighing up how much time I was going to spend and any extra $$$ to get a crank like that to work for you. Weigh that up against a crank spec'd out for what you want. More often than not the fuel crank ends up costing more.

Yep, it's starting to look that way. I guess the question is whether a Crower 4340 crank will handle the odd 1,500 hp burst... or whether I need to order a custom EN30B piece...

I am a big fan of center counter weights, which that crank has. If it isn't too much hassle, and it hasn't seen a lot of abuse, I would go with it. The stress it takes off the block is quite a bit. On top of that, you will be hard pressed to hurt it if it is new, or low use.
I had cap walk at 2432 bobweight. I put in a center weighted Crower crank and it went away. That was in a Mega block with cross bolts.

This crankshaft was something I ordered and is new. I'll pick it up later today, and then will decide what bushing I need.

The depth of the backside(transmission side) of the crankshaft flange to the back of the block is different(longer) on the old top fuler cranks than the stock later model(1962 and up) cranks are Several solutions as already mentioned, one not mention is a thin spacer plate between the trans and block to move the trans back from the crank flange




any idea of what the difference is ..? maybe i could machine the flange thinner leaving a step register.






.100 " longer in the back and .100" in the front for a bryant fuel crank

As for the adapter rings


I called kb and he said that he has them in stock and is looking at one in his hand as we talked on the phone so I ordered it . I waited a month and a half and it still never recieved it , so I machined one my self . A week later the one from kb shows up

I think ATI sells the adapter also .
