Ok, the PM u sent made it sound differently. Stock or stroked is cool with me, let me know, I'll figure out what I need.

Yep, no worries!

I have heard that the 390 oiling holes is drilled different than the 401 Cranks. Some about oiling ATDC instead og BTDC.

Great point and that is one of the great parts about this deal. It and many more things will be addressed.

I'd be in for a 360 stroker crank. Bob tufcj

Folks need to post up with what they would like to have

Not an expert by any means, but I was looking at something conservative, A 6" chevy rod, with 2" journal and 3.899' stroke and some nice pistons would put us around 425 cu in engine that should be very reliable and make great streetable power. I am not a racer, just looking to do a nice stout cross country engine. But that is just me, I don't need 1000 HP. That info was from the sticky in the engines page.

No problem

Any idea, when these will be available? My 304 quit making Oil Pressure!, no sense in wasting time on it to figure out why when I got 401's layin around.

Currently we don't have an ETA. Drawings are being made right now to ensure we can get all these strokes out of the same forge tool.

I would be interested in stock size 3.44 and 3.68 strokes. Would also be interested in forged stock type I-beam rods for 360.

Any new info ? when would these be available ?

jeepsr4ever

They will never be available unless more than 15 folks are interested

Lenni AMC

I would like at least one. Also has this discussion been posted on every AMC forum and Jeep forums ? People have to know about this to be able to show their interest

Bulltear, mark me down as someone who would buy an AMC 401 forged crankshaft if you had them to sell. I am interested in a stock crankshaft with OEM standard specs.

If I can sell the blower engine, put me down for one. I'm not sure on what stroke and pin size to get. My best guess is the best combination that makes the best power.

Man, it's been a LONG time since I have actually been on this site. I kind of feel guilty.... So check this out, hopefully I can make up for it. LOL I still have the jeep rust in my blood so, I am looking for a forged lightened crank that weighs 44-45lbs with a star cut flange,.... basically a racing crank. I am running left turns on dirt... as I Built a Street Stock and here soon, another one for my girl....

&#9702;Profiled aero-wing counterweights
&#9702;Pendulum cut to reduce rotating mass
&#9702;Straight shot and chamfered oil holes
&#9702;Nitride hardened and shot peened
&#9702;Lightening holes in all rod throws
&#9702;Large radius on all journals

What would this run me and how soon? lol Oh yeah, I will need stickers for the race car. Might do a wrap on the car would love to put Bulltear on it!

Lenni AMC

So haven´t 15 people already shown interest ?
