JakeW143Manley 4.25 BBC crankshaft
Anyone using one in 950ish HP 555? Looking for some real world experiences. I am guessing they are made off shore for the price point I see them at.

SP 124XI have 565 with a Manley rotating assembly that I got in a Facebook raffle. I've put 300ish runs plus whatever the previous owner put on it with no problems so far.

183NI have Molnar crank and rods in my new 555...
103 runs and the rods are still bolted to the crank. Friend of mine is building a 632 and is using their stuff too after seeing mine. I’ll buy it next time too.
I opted for the power adder rods for the small price difference.

Mike RietowCheck with Bullet Cams Jake. This is a made in USA 4.25 crank I bought for a guys dragster from a long time friend from Lunati who moved over to Bullet. I'm pretty sure it's a Callies Magnum he would only say it is good **** put whatever power to it you like. The chinese crank I switched out for this bullet crank had a crack which nearly destroyed this block. I put this block in a paint oven (aluminum block) to get the clearances exact (running temp) as a result of the line bore being iffy at the parting line on the #1 main cap as a result of the cracked crank just about ruining this block. We had to fanagle half shells to get clearances but it's running to this day 4.70s - 4.80's. I was pretty happy we could save this block for the guy to get his daughters out there racing together. A block may have set that back a few months I'm sure.

JakeW143I will most likely put another Callies Magnum back in it. Thanks for the input.
