Crankshaft to converter problems
« on: May 21, 2016, 07:13:13 PM »
 Putting the new motor in my dragster. I discovered the Callies XL sprint car crank has a 2 1/4" internal register and my converter hub is 1 3/4. Looks like I'll need to bush down about 1/2". Has anybody ran into this? Does Callies  or the converter company's make a bushing. If not it should be easy enough to spin one out on the lathe.

Never seen it.  I'd knock it out on the lathe.
