And that was an Eagle crank I bet?

Nope. One of the 454 BBC cranks purchased from Competition Products in MI. Unless you have access to the metallurgical composition of the base cast iron used I would NOT purchase ANY off shore cast crank, period. The ONLY off shore forged crank I would use would be from SCAT or Molnar. Everything else has too much taper, too much O/R and are out of stroke on EVERY rod journal. I don’t like grinding new cranks .010 under or more to make them useable.
