I am rebuilding a '69 396 engine and need a crank.
The block is 60 over with TRW 10.25 pistons. The rods are Eagle H series. I've looked at Eagle and Scat cranks but they are $700+ and I'm not sure they are worth it. Is there a good affordable crank and were can I get one.
Thanks for your help.
Jim

Chevrolet cast crank will take plenty of abuse.

Callies Dragonslayer - $800 and 1968 is correct about GM cranks

Unless you are planning on totally thrashing on it at super high RPMs, large amounts of nitrous, or some type of forced induction, a GM cast or forged crank would be just fine.

Jim,
I received your email but cannot respond for some reason.Do you have another email address?

sorry Jim can't email for some reason.
my address is igrinditshrp@netscape.net

In a non-power adder engine just about the only thing a cast big block crank doesn't like is rpms. Keep it below 6,000 rpm and you should be fine for a long time.
