[DeTomaso] Big Block Bell Housing

[John Taphorn]

Gary

I'd suggest a forged crank.  Several 351C stroked to 408 that used an offset 
ground 400 cast crank has experienced cracked or broken crankshafts.  The 
crank does not have the high nodularity of the Cleveland crank.  This is not 
the place to save money.
