Quote: 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.
Correct. My crank was a 6 bolt vs 8 bolt. The 440 crank may need Mallory added as well as some of them are too light on bobweight for hemi rods and pistons, but that's not too much. That's about the only difference though.
