Anybody runnin' or know someone using an Ohio Crankshafts 4340 forged crank in their high output big block? Lookin for input /info on their products.

I was looking at buying a 4.5” Ohio for my hemi. After doing some research I think I’ll go with a molnar.

 

[theman440]

Molnar is my first choice, can you tell me why you decided against Ohio?

 

[68 HEMI GTS]

Just a lot of hit or miss reviews. They may be fine, I’ve just never used one. I am just little leary to put one in a 800hp hemi.

I've been very happy with the Molar rods in my motor.

Ohio Crankshaft stuff seems to be kind of hit or miss. That being said I ran a BBC with a 4,375 stroke ohio crank in it in a front engine digger for a couple of seasons before building a bigger motor for and it did it's job with no issues.

Went to Molnar website $892.01 for a BB crank. Discounted from $1032, don't if it's sale or what they normally do?

I purchased my entire 505" rotating assembly from Ohio Crankshaft. (remember, the 505" is the same as a 512" but the 505" is only .030" over and the 512" is .060")
It was $2037 for everything including Crank, H-Beam Rods, SRP forged pistons, rings, etc.
I now have 109 1/4 mile runs on my motor AND NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER.
Most recent best ET is 10.191 @ 131.28 mph at 3795 lbs on the starting line.
I would buy the same product over and never look back.

We have built many engines using Ohio cranks with no issues with them ever. Although like most of everyone else's replies. I currently run a Molnar crank & Barton Rods (which are Molnar or Manley depending on age).

Plenty of people on the Bullet using Ohio Crank stuff. I just have no personal experience with it

My eagle 4.5” crank was about 900, seems like they’re on par with others prices

Molnar makes some really nice stuff, they’ve gotten real popular with the late model engines.

I'm running a complete 4.15 assy. in my 493 street motor, must have 1,000 or more miles on it-no problems. On the other hand when Muscle Motors built my 540 Indy they used Molnar crank and rods.

Nice to see a company that is still in business. I remember Ohio Crankshaft from back in the 60's. There were pros and cons back then too. Just like any retail business I guess.
