Hi
       That seems to be the hot ticket up here with the roundy round boys ,
I've gotten rid of a few of my "surplus" polys to these guys who do just
that ,use the poly crank in later LA's .
 The original 340 cranks are fetching big bucks so the polys are being used
as replacements .....The cranks are strong because they are indeed forged .

Regards
Wally

I am looking into using a crank out of a 1963 or 1964 poly 318 in my
1972 340 project. How strong is this crank compared to later ones? Would
it be wise to use it in a 340 that will most likely push up to 500hp?
Thank you.
