Indy got the last order and declined to sign up for another years worth, so get them while you can....

Figures,,,blocks will be available, but the crank choice will be Bryant, Winberg,,,,or white glue and wood chips

I asked last year for a stock stroke and they had none[Callies]to go with the comp star rods

Ohio Crankshaft makes Mopar cranks and they were great to work with.

You sure they aren't just waiting on enough orders to come in to make another run? Back in 2006 when Dan Costello ordered my Callies crank for me, he told me to go ahead and get it now (I had planned on waiting) b/c when they get done w/ a run, it may be a while before they make any more. He made it seem like I might be waiting a year or more until they would make any more of them.

My understanding was that they made a run of them once a year, sort of based on what Indy ordered.
If Indy didn't make a big order, I can see where they wouldn't do the run.

Just business, their loss, someone's else's gain. If they don't have young blood coming up to work (if "they" know what they're doing) they'll fade away like all old business's. They're older than dirt. Heard of any others going out lately?..

LA Billet? Just Kidding.

My understanding was they needed to see an order of at least 200 cranks per year. It kinda shows the Mopar crowd does not buy enough volume to warrant the little bit of business we do provide. Sad really.

Back when I built my 605 I ordered my rotating assembly from Bob George. When he placed the order indy was out of cranks. I got Callies phone number and called and talked with their production engineer. He said they were out and wouldn't make another run until they had enough orders which he said might be 6-8 months. Then he said if you can use a crank with 2.2 rod journals we've got them. That was a NO BRAINER, he said the chevy and Mopar used the same raw forging.
The kicker was indy didn't want to do it that way, I told Bob to tell Russ if they wouldn't order me the 2.2 crank the deal was off. They ordered the crank.Dave

I bet they're not easy to deal with either, begging for discounts and all lol.

I'd also bet they sell 200 chevy cranks a week.

Yes but it's yrs ago.
Indy bought all the 4" 340 main ones and it's where I bought 2 from.

Last time I checked they dropped any listing of Big Block Mopar cranks on their web site catalog This was about a year ago You would think if they were waiting to make a run they would at least keep those listed

We spoke with the people from Calles at the PRI show this past December and the said that the would not make any more Chrysler cranks because there wasn't a high demand for them.They sold the remaining stock to Indy.They have no future plans to manufacture any Chrysler cranks.

In the day Russ ordered the 4.500 cranks from callies like 50 at a pop with the understanding that he and only Indy got the 4.500 so that all you guys paid a premium for them--you could not get it direct from callies--sweet deal for a decade until they were available elsewhere--then, Russ lost his incentive--if you can't get full tilt price then whats the use right??

When I think how fast ray Barton has gone with a 440 cast crank in a Hemi ( save a little weight) and how hard a stock 440 steel crank will run until issues I don't know what in the heck ya'll can do that a plain old eagle or Source china unit will not do--Really?? The advantage to the Callies was precision machine work--OK I sort of expect that from any plain old grinder--and they were finished very nice--but are they not all the same China forging??--me thinks so I don not believe Callies used anything but import forgings just like everyone else--polish them nice and make them look good charge more
I have run fuel cranks we bought for $100 a pop--cracked all to He$%--mag and scream when you looked --hey ..weld a bung on it to locate the converter nose--grind it 010/010 ( only had to take off about 005 to get there lol) and I KNOW they were plain BUSTED like a spider web--Guess what they ran and ran and ran and eat NOS by the bottle again and again--you oil a crank and your tune up is close you can run darn near anything
I had a state struck wit a 360 --crank busted clean in two--long as you were on the gas it was fine ( sure was a pain when you let out of it ) BUT..it would go to the store and back!!!!!

So you think that Callies was charging at least dbl for a crank vs Eagle because of the machining and not because it was domestic forging?

It might be but I doubt it and gave a reasonable explanation why you were paying a premium for sooo long on 4.500's back when you could only get one from indy--
