trans should come off the torque converter.

Torch the heads of the bolts and they should loosen up or burn off.

update:

I just returned the 2 6.1 cranks, I never heard from anyone that wanted them. (not uncommon for internet postings)

The 6.4 crank is in the works, for the guy that called.

PS 5.7 cranks are cast, all others are steel.

The correct place for ANY cast iron block with cracks in the main crank journal or the camshaft journal areas is on the slow boat to China to eventualy become a recast new part..... :D

Offset grind probably run 350-400 Weld a crank is usually 100 -125 per journal then turned to the size and stroke. 700-900 range. Noone will guanantee a welded stroker.

In my expirence with dealers from Dodge, GM, and Ford when they build a racecar they will usually spend what it takes to get to the top with their Name on the side. They write the whole thing off in their ad budgets. Back in the days Banning/Lowe/Koons would spend what it took to be on top and the m...

Sure Pete...I could use a 6.1 crank. What's the info? Since there are none in any warehouse or parts depot, and none shown in any inventory, with no release date, having an in-service date of 2050 (yes, 2050) and only available someday maybe if ordered thru the Star Center. Give us all the details....

You don't have to imagine, lol. I bought a 6.1(370 ci) and had it stroked to a 6.8(413 ci) with a 8.5:1 cr and will be upgrading my turbo from the 60-1 to the GTS 76.

Hey George, Chrysler labled the cylinders on the marine engines from the rear, firing orders are the same if you renumber the cylinder numbers from the front. They also offered the 2X4 331 but don't think they ever sold any. Every 331 I have ever seen was light greenish color. So anytime you see 2X4...

I would imagine that a motor setup for motor cross racing was a full roller motor and without knowing what the compression, cam specs, what head work was done, rpm range, and stroke it would be difficult to estimate horespower. 610 seems low for a full race motor.

If they have 2 1 bbl carbs they are 331s, if 1 or 2 4bbl 354s. If they have 1:1 transmissions they are worth good money, if not just spare parts.

If they both came out of the same boat they do not have 1:1 trans.

Vertex mags advance as the engine speed increases, you can get different weights to bring in just about any advance you want. The initial advance is fixed. Don Zig is the biggest current rebuilder of them. The Chevy models rotate in reverse of Chrysler mags. Expensive conversion. Used, runable condi...

Very little cutting using aftermarket steel rod bolts with reduced head size 12 point nuts, the piston rings did not go into the pin area.

I even looked at cat style cap rods that would require no cutting at all. I did not want to wait 6 months to get them made.
