I ask them about building me a light weight fully counter balanced steel billet custom crank for the same application, they said no again So my message is count me in for some as long as we can get the stroke and main bearing journal size I want Cab: They already make them. The top of their page shows a billet blown Hemi crank with center counterweights. Available with 4.375 stroke for $1,645.

Mi	Because a crank has 8 counterweights and 'balances' does not make it correct...there is engineering that goes into the correct phasing of the counterweights. There is a comprehensive post about this same subject on YellowBullet, I would suggest referencing it before spending any EXTRA money on a crank for 'extra' features like this.

AFAIK, Miller only produced 1 car v16 and a pair of marine v-16's. How you you end up with a crankshaft for one "in stock"? Strange! I am sure there is a "story" that goes with this. It would be interesting to hear it.

I am not necessarily pointing to one or more companies improper design. But the link was given by someone else here, thank you Alan, the one I was referring to to help you make your own decision.

Is there a lean towards Lenco's or Liberty's? I don't recall what their minimum weight is, it's around the 2300 lbs from memory. They basically all run a Liberty Equalizer clutchless 5 speed now. Years ago some guys ran a G Force trans, but they can't handle the power they make now. I don't think they've run Lenco transmissions since Bob Glidden was racing. Power wise, I've not done the math, it would be around the 1500 hp mark somewhere. Alan Jones

I plan on running Nostalgia Pro Stock and just wanted to know how my combo would stack up with the big dogs vs the old timers in N P/S.
