Marine Crankshafts, mild to wild on most any racing or stock cranks David is the owner, he worked for Sonny Bryant, Bryant Racing Crankshafts, for many years before opening his own shop. His work ethics and quality control are outstanding in my humble opinion I had a crankshaft that was hurt, Crower 4.25 stroke old top fuel crank with center counterweighrs and Mopar rod journal sizes. The motor broke number 1 rod and hurt that journal more than a little, I had him mag and then repair that journal as well as offset grind all the rod journals to 2.200 rod size and increase the stroke to 4.375 His shop is in Santa Ana, CA 714-549-2388

Don Kulash was going to send mine to someone in Effingham 3 years ago. I think you stopped into Don's machine shop in Granite.

I use Mark Schaefer at Belleville Automotive. Mark has lots of circle track experience as well as drag,street and stock applications. I am not sure if Mullins in Mt.Olive does cranks, but I know a lot of circle track people use their machine shop services. Sorry I can't make it to the reunion this year Martin, schedule conflict. Your efforts are genuinely appreciated.

Is Crankshaft Specialist in Memphis any good?

Around here all the machine shops send their crank grinding to Keller Motor Supply.
John Keller has been in business for quite some time and has a great reputation.

Quality Precision Crankshaft in Etobicoke, ON. Everything from performance to industrial and Military.
They do a lot of cranks for FHO as well (including cleanup and straightening of some of the Eagle cranks)

In Phoenix there's a guy advertising custom crank grinding called Kadrie's Kranks. I've spoken to him a couple of times about some odd jobs, never actually did any business with the guy. Anyone else ever visit or buy?

Why not be more upfront about it ??
Most think your intentions were to find a crank grinder, not for sales leads....
Whats next here...you gonna ask if anyone knows any well-to-do senior citizens that you can call on for a can't miss investment opportunity ?

Well, I guess it's just me, but looking for sales leads here seems kinda tacky, especially when he's not upfront about it. From the replies, I think most guys are steering him to a good crank grinder, not giving out info on who to call on for sales.

Just what is it you think Martin is trying to sell?
We were all at his place this week end and it doesn't look to me like he needs to troll around scrounging up work.

Thanks for the reply Gary,just as I'm happy to take the time and help others as well thats what this board is about helping people. I have done my fair share of helping if not more than the average user to help people with the knowledge I have with cars and engines. Its not TACKY at all to ask for people to contribute or help with what they know. I'm the National Sales Manager for Automotive Aftermarket Radiac Abrasives. I work with many aftermarket engine rebuilders ie Jasper Engines, AER Dallas etc along with Cam grinders like Comp Cams, Bullett, Crower, Howards, furthermore crank grinders like Scat, Winberg, Crower, Eagle and others and contribute to this forum frequently. I forward info that I have learned over the years to moparts members on this board. You should not be trying to belittle me or anyone else on this board. If there was an issue the MODS would have identifed it and deleted the post. My post helps both ways meaning members are forwarding info not only to me but to other members on where they send there work. I have 5,500 shops in my data base. If a member asked me who was in there area for crank grinding, cam grinding or head rebuilding I can refer them to someone and give references to quality shops. 6 Pack Runner I'll be nice again and only think it and not say anything

I notice you did some creative editing... ...
If you didn't think it was borderline tacky....why didn't you say from the start....Hey, I am looking for sales leads for crank grinders I can contact, so can you list crank grinding shops that you know of ? And this will help all members who may be looking for a shop to do their cranks also.....

No creative editing at all I didn't think I had to explain the anademy of the question as most of us are pretty smart people on here. Now your saying borderline tacky ( creative editing ) Now go stick your head in a trash can and yell or just go away instead of continuing to prove your an idiot you've proven that. Now I'm starting to lose the niceness.
Lets carry on with the post now, do we all have it behind us now ? We don't need this type of discussion going on it ruins the post.

I got something out of it, and I don't mind data mining as long as it serves the common good.
Seems to me there are folks who have nothing better to do than to suspiciously scrutinize every post.
What are you afraid of?
Does it bother you that some people have millions and you don't? Do you have to wear a mouthpiece because you're grinding your teeth each night thinking of those other people who have it better than you do?
It's a much happier life when one is pleased with others' success.
