Thread: Stroker cranks made in china?

Tweet

I am wanting to build a big cubic inch 351-W but read that the stroker cranks are made in china,I just cant stand the thought of a crank made in china and with all the reports of the crap they are sending our way I dont want one in my motor so someone tell me it aint so and does anyone know if any are made here in the states.

llllllllllllll////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\llllllllllllll

Have you ever had a Chinese tool or machine that worked for more than a few hours? The extra bucks for an American made crank will look cheap when your Chinese bottom end shits its guts all over the road.

The bottom end of a motor is something I would not go cheap on,the bolt on parts maybe but not the internals. I will spend the money on a good crank if I build one.

David Vizard says he has been puttin' 550+ hp through a 3.750" Scat cast STEEL crank for years now without a failure.

Might work fine in a race car but nothing I would want in a motor to go cross country in.

The China made forgings are of a superior steel to the old oem forged steel cranks and are reasonably priced---they have allowed all these big cube/high horsepower combinations to be built. The companies went over there to get away from EPA regulations on factory emissions, not because the quality of the forging .

At least with crankshafts you know its not child labor----

We use mostly Callies stuff , but do use an occasional Eagle if thats what the customer wants or fits the budget.

Moving to China to avoid the EPA ! That is not the right thing to do. They should have found a way to make them here and pushed their product as made in USA !
Should sell like hotcakes.

Are there any cranks made here in the USA for his application ?
That was ,I believe his question
