4340 Forged Crankshafts

Butler Performance offers Pontiac 4340 forged cranks from top manufacturers in a variety of sizes, and include the latest in oiling technology. Forged Cranks offer a tremendous advantage in strength and durability over cast cranks. This is very inexpensive insurance to protect your engine and  even if not necessary at your power level now, upgrading to a forged crank to build a solid bottom end will give you the option to safely upgrade power later.

Some cranks offer standard oiling(noted in description) while others offer Straight Shot Oiling.

We have complete balanced rotating assemblies using these cranks. If you don't see the combination you want, contact us and we will put it together for you.

4.25 OR 4.500 CRANK CLEARANCE

This picture shows the only area that normally needs to be clearanced to put either a 4.25" or 4.500" stroke crank in a Pontiac 400 block- although any new part should be installed and all clearances checked prior to final assembly because of factory production variances.

Below is taken from an article from Popular Hot Rodding Mag Oct. 07 issues

"It's been 30 years in the making, but Pontiac enthusiasts now have both aftermarket cast and forged cranks at their disposal. In the late '90s, Butler Performance teamed up with Eagle to produce the first aftermarket Pontiac crank, a cast-steel 4.250-inch unit for 3-inch main 326/350/389/400 blocks. Just this year, Butler Performance released 4340 forged cranks in 4.000-, 4.250-, and 4.500-inch strokes for 3-inch main blocks. The company also offers 4.000- and 4.250-inch 4340 cranks for 421/428/455 blocks with 3.25-inch mains. "Before we released these cranks, the only option was offset grinding a stock crank, which netted an extra 4 to 5 ci," David Butler says. "Forged cranks are so reasonably priced these days, there's no reason to even bother with a stock piece."
