I did the same. He gave me all the time I wanted. Great guy, great company. Have a 4.25" in my street/strip car motor that made 713/709 hp/torque. Had a discussion with Tony Bischoff on what to use in my new build for the race car. Went with the 4.5" Molnar crank and this motor will be 1000 hp. The Callies crank was a potential option for about 3x the money and delivery was questionable and it had to be bought through Barton so went with the Molnar. Tony is comfortable with the decision.

Have reciprocating weights and he will tell you what he has that will work for you. He does not care if you buy it from him or one of his dealers.

Been running a 4.5" Molnar crank in the 540 for a few years now. Probably 850 horse. So far so good. No complaints. I missed typed. We run a 4.25 Molnar crank with a 4.5" bore in our 540. Still very happy with the Molnar crank. I believe at the time Molnar was the only (other than high dollar or custom) crank manufacturer that had true chevy width rod journals with RB mains

looking at a rotating ass. that has a molar crank [bb 4.5oo] good or bad? Mol nar, Mol nar, Mol nar... Is this a vote for Molnar or against? Being honest, I could read this either way.

You have to use the correct main seal with the Molnar crank. SCAT typically wants a different rear main seal than Molnar but you have to inspect first since it isn't always the same. What is the difference in the seal? Why would one crank use any different seal than another? Do you have seal part numbers? Doug
