Hi everyone,
My father and I just purchased a 1965 Hemi Coronet. It was beautifully restored by the previous owner.
It was built around 2010 or so, and has a 472 crate Hemi of that vintage. My question is, does anyone have information about what parts are inside? Just curious who makes the crank and rods in the 472 crate engines of that vintage. I searched for this, but didn’t come up with much. I read Barton built the 528’s, but that’s all I found.
Did the 472 come with a standard MP 4.15 crank, or is it an Eagle crank? Any info on the rods.....I beam, or H beam?
Thanks in advance for the info.
The 472 I got involved in had wiseco pistons, h-beam rods that look like eagles, crank looked like my other MP cranks, no numbers on it, comp cams cam. This engine had tight bores, uneven decks, tight valve guides that made the cam go flat, tight pin bores in the rods, crank was pretty good. All in all it had good parts, but very poor attention to machine work. This one was a cummins built engine, the later barton built were better.
