Would you guys trust using a Molnar crank in a roots blown Hemi application? 6500-7000 max. Just looking for some input.
Thanks

Good tune up...yes. Bad tune up...you can't buy parts good enough.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Pretty vague question. How much power, how much stroke? 4.5 x 4.5, 14-71 Littlefield, 2x1050 dominators. 1200hp-1300hp

Tom will honestly answer your questions. Give him a call. I just bought a 4.500/2.200 crank from them. Much nicer piece than what I had used previously. Doug I agree, I would value his opinion over anyone else's.

So, Molnar does not have the crank I want and won't make it. Oh well.

Moldex billet, Crower, Callies, Mittler Brothers, Winberg, Sonny Bryant, Alan Johnson are who I'd call. You've about doubled or tripled the price of a Molnar-machined Chinese forging. But when you start talking four figure hp numbers that's where you end up. Out of that group I'd pick Winberg but it may be difficult to get into line at his shop, they sometimes have quite a waiting list. Realistically, I'd pick Crower for no good reason only that they have been around a long time and their billet stuff is hell for stout.

Street strip car and I would prefer to build it once and then just worry about maintenance. Waiting to here back from Crower on pricing. Best price so far was from Bryant at $3024 for a billet with centre counterweights. This is the one I will go with unless I can find one comparable that would do the job and maybe save $500 or so. I know, I know, power isn't cheap but I can't be senseless about the build either. Thanks for the input.

Whose block are you using? World iron block, I bought new from Dave Dudeck and all machine work done by FHO, GRP 7.115 aluminum rods, custom cut CP pistons, Stage V- FHO custom heads, 2x 1050 Quickfuel dominators Unfortunately with the Canadian Peso, everything we buy from the States is plus 30% with the exchange. That Bryant crank will cost me $3800+ and possible duties and shipping so there is an easy $4500. I had a set of Stage V big valve heads from FHO and the Ray Barton T&D rockers assembly but I sold the heads, the rockers and my Littlefield blower because I got talked into going with an aluminum KB block and so I sold my new Mega block to FHO and poof! no blocks. Did not want an Indy block so after 2 years I had sold that stuff.
