Crower Forged Blown Alcohol Cranks

Anybody out therehere using them i was told just as good as billet

 

Was told same thing years back -did not have good luck with them

 

I don't make alot of power but Im running a 4.500x4.500. 572" wedge 1500ish hp. I had a callies that was very hard on bearings, switched to a Crower forging and my bearings look great.

 

I believe Callie’s is making all the fuel cranks right now. I know the foreman there and they made a run of 300 cranks over the winter again for Tf/fc

 

I’ve been running the Callie’s cranks but eventually bent one and took out number 2 main, tried a Crower and my bearings never looked better but even though I had little run time on the Crower crank I decided to mag it and sure enough it was cracked right at the number 1 and 2 rod journal even though the bearings and everything else looked perfect?

 

I should of said that Callie’s is making all the billet cranks for tf/fc. They don’t offer all they’re cranks in billet yet. But it’s coming. The 4.125 hemi crank is running currently and 3.800 I believe.

 

Santos ran one on his blown SBC TAD

 

We were running one until it came about as close to breaking into two pieces as it is possible to get - we got very, very lucky, much less than half a square inch holding it in one piece. Can't complain as when we enquired about availability, Crower told us it was 18 years old...

However, we replaced it with a Winberg crank (as it was available, and Crower and Bryant had a 12 week back order). Very happy with the Winberg piece.
