We used to run a 69 Camaro in SSBS. The engine was a 316that we bought from the Otis Bros.We ran a 4 speed Jerico. It had the original 302 Crank from his 68 camaro in it. It had the rod journals cut to small journal and was hard chromed. We never ever had a bad looking bearing come out of it.

The Otis Bros were running comp with the billet cranks at the time. They said they wished the bearings looked as good as the old chrome crank.

I know it is harder to find these cranks now, but Dwight knows a thing or two about them.
