Cast crank for Super Stock?

[Stan Weiss]

I see in the Indy thread that 2 of the 4 stockers in the barn are Pontiac. Does anyone know if they are running a cast crank?

I ran my 455 SD Pontiac in Super Stock, and it has always had a Cast crank/ The rules for SS allow you to run an accepted aftermarket crankshaft, so that may also be a option.

Thanks guys. I'd already started down the road with a stock cast crank, but just started to second guess myself. Time to keep going. Dwight has assumed right on the combo, and unfortunately there is minimal aftermarket support, and no cranks are available.

Kip Martin ran a cast crank and stock rods in his Super Stock Mustang with no problems at all.

I know for certain that the J/SA 400 Pontiac has a stock cast crank.

I ran cast cranks in a couple of my super stock small block chevy engines. Never had a problem with them. I have broke 2 aftermarket steel cranks. Both of those broke because other parts broke first.

I have seen them both break, mostly due to detonation.

i ran a 390 cast crank for years .. quickest we ever ran with it was 9.70s?
definetly not using cast cranks these days? it was a ticking time bomb waiting to happen ?

A 50oz external cast crank or something that?s been converted to internal balance?
