I bought a 3.915 BB crank at least 10 years ago for a 470 auto build. I'm thinking of going to a 4 speed setup. Are all the 440 Source cranks drilled for a pilot bushing? Thanks

Why are you asking and concern about all of them?
Is yours machined properly or not? scope

Mine was, and I used the roller bearing from a Magnum engine. Mancini has them too.

Their site says yes. But I'm curious if anyone has run into one that wasn't. They are made in China. frown

Did yours say made in China when you bought it?
If not, it wasn't was it shruggy
I sold a lot of used Mopar BB engine parts to Brandon years ago when he was stocking up to open 440 Source, maybe the crank you have was a used stock 440 crankshaft offset ground to 3.91 stroke that he had back then work
Why are you asking questions that you have the answer to already work

My 440 source crank was drilled. I bought it about 12 years ago.
It was for an auto, then I went 4 speed.
