For immediate release:

Ohio Crankshaft announces new small block Chevy crankshaft.

Greenville, Ohio – A new series of heavy duty small block cranks with the big block front snout. Features not only the BBC snout, but also smaller lightening holes and redesigned counter weights for more strength front to back.

Material is 4340 forged steel and is nitrided. An additional optional heat treat and tempering process is also available.

Scott Ray said ” We have been working on this deal for a couple of years. We expected it to be mostly used in supercharged engines, but have also found a lot of interest from round track and other applications that drive accessories off the front of the crank.” At this time shafts are available in 3.48″, 3.75″ and 4″ stroke, both 350 and 400 main size.

Ohio Crankshaft Releases New Extreme Duty SBC Connecting Rod.

Greenville, Ohio – The most popular rod at Ohio Crankshaft for many years has been the Extreme Duty I-beam model. Until now it was only available in larger sizes for such applications as the big block Chevy and Chrysler engines.

To create a smaller package with light weight, good clearance, and 7/16” bolts has been an engineering challenge. This new SBC rod design maintains the proven I-beam strength that is designed into the Ohio Crankshaft Extreme Duty model line.
The new small block Chevy Extreme Duty I-beam rod is now in stock in the most popular 6” length, and more sizes will be available later in the year. Scott Ray at Ohio crank comments, “Customers have been requesting this rod for years, and we are really happy to finally be shipping them.” See more on the Extreme Duty line of rods on their connecting rod page at ohiocrank.com.
