Please let us know how it checks out and what if anything needs fixed or machined before it is usable.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I will be looking it over visually and measuring a few things, I might not know much more for a bit because nobody bought my race car which was to help fund the Hemi for my '66 Barracuda.....And finding a chevy journal 4.15 crank has been a lost cause.

Barton told me he has built 30-40 of these blocks this year with little to no problems.

I got an eight-bolt flange 4.150 440 source forged crank in good shape, took it out when I upgraded to a 4.25 stroke. I had it sent to machine shop polished and checked, they said it was in good shape.

This year we have built 27 hemis and 3 wedge with the Callies block and have had zero problems. Depending on the build you should only need to hone and assemble.

I guess your looking for something better, but Eagle makes ( or used to make) a 4.15 crank with 2.2 journal.
I bought one a year or two ago

Found it.
