Crankshaft Work
 
I have a beautiful NOS Winberg crank for a R3 Mopar block I am building for this year.

It has a Chevy rear flange and I need it bored to accept the snout from a 904 TorqueFlite converter.

I know of lots great places I could send it to that could do this work. However I cannot bring myself to hand this thing over to a shipping company. If something happened to it I would have to get another made at great expense with a time delay. There are not to many around with SBF mains and 3.28 strokes!

Can anyone recommend a crankshop or perhaps a machine shop within a days drive of Tulsa, Oklahoma that you would trust explicitly to do this work?

Thanks!

I would call Stanley Morton. Morton Machine. Close to Coweta PM me if you want his number. Stanley would know who to use, if he can’t do it.

What about Buddy Rice in Oklahoma City.

I’d call Brad VanLant. I don’t have his contact info on my phone (I’m at Orlando) but can get that for you Sunday. Looks like he’s about 275 miles from Tulsa.

Maybe Glen Self in Durant OK.

Thanks everyone. Lots of good suggestions.

I am sure one of these folks can do the job or know someone who can.

Can't a regular machine shop with a decent size lathe turn the ID of the register?

Probably, but I am looking for a sure thing and somebody that has crankshaft experience.

I am sure one of folks suggested will be able to help me or refer me to someone who can.

Thanks for the response!

I would look into getting the snout on the converter changed before I would have the crank machined. Especially that it is a rare and valuable piece

Never thought of that.

However that would then make the converter somewhat of an unicorn.

I guess the crank could always be bushed back to the Chevy specs if someone wanted to go to more of a GM setup.

Thanks for the response,
Bill
