My Bryant, was $3641
Good Lord! I knew they were high, but I didn't think that high!
My Callies 4.5" stroke, 2.2" rod journals, 8 bolt hemi crank was around $1800. CHIP
Ya, I was planning to get one. Callie had just stopped making forged cranks when I went to order mine. then they made some just after I received my Bryant

about how much for a bryant 4.500 hemi crank? Callies? Crower?
I just noticed this must be out of a smart car, since you have it plugged in.

You can but you need to be able to balance it and hemi's have a heavy bobweight because of the piston size, use a longer rod and you can make the piston smaller to help . I had a scat/MP low deck stroker crank , it didn't fit in the block because of the counterweight diameter . After looking at it best I could figure is it was a HEMI RESTO crank , it was 5140 , wit hthe mains cut down only . I had to cut a 1/4 inch plus off the counterweight diameters to get it to fit which worked out well as it only needed 2 small holes to balance to my 2200 gram bobweight .

Wow, looks like you dodged a bullet and were lucky a rod didn't decide to exit stage left.
Yeah, tell me about it! It actually kept running and got me home another 6 or 8 miles down the road. Idled it, between 800 and 950 rpm. Long 6 or 8 miles let me tell you. Hindsight, should have shut it off and called my one friend in the area to come tow me home. Further hindsight, never should have a bought an eagle cast crank... Or cat rockers for what that's worth...

Can you run a lightened crank with the hemi? The crank currently in mine had to have weight added to it. I have the eagle crank with manley rods and J and E pistons.
DTHemi did at 654ci
