I visited the Callies booth. Saw a Dodge V-10 crank there that they now make. I asked the owner if they are ever going to make a Pontiac crank, and basically got laughed at for that question. So I said, but you make a Dodge V-10 crank. You can't tell me they are more popular than a Pontiac[I've only machined or built one Dodge V-10 in my almost 24 years of machining engines]. He tells me, but I've sold 6 of those cranks! I'm thinking, SIX, that's it! You'll tool up to make a crank for them but not a Pontiac? I told him that makes no sense to me at all, and Pontiacs are way more popular than Dodge V-10's. But everyone of these guys[Dart included] think no one builds Pontiacs anymore. It's ridiculous. After all, how many hundreds of different heads do you really need for a Chevy?

So much in one place and lots of information. In 2013 and 2014, I was on a mission asking all the crank suppliers to consider doing a fully counterweighted Pontiac forging on their next tool revision. I know they are not going to develop a new tool for it, but encouraged it when it was time to replace the tool. Would be a nice alternative to the high $ billet jobs.
