quick crank question

[wasp]

is the 2.2 crank from a chrysler tc forged?
thanks!

I'm gonna take a stab at this.The TC guy may jump all over me ,but here goes.The 16v has a masi specific forged crank and the Chrysler turbo is a T2 so I would speculate that it is forged also.I have one also but I haven't dissassembled it yet (next project).

All TII, TIII, TIV, and Maserati 16v's crank are forged.

[wasp]

thank you. i was fairly certain but searching for tc of course doesn't work. shoulda though about using maserati. again, thanks.

that being the case i may soon have a crank for my tIII and it'll be back on the road soon!

Yeah..the Masi 16V cranks weigh 53#'s!! I'd stay away from that one IMHO...

Yes, the masi crank is HEEEAAAAAVVVVYYYYYYY. It's the heaviest of all dodge crankshafts and it also forged. I would stay away. I know someone that tried to get one knife edged(to cut back on the weight some)from a company that does Knife edging, they sent it back and said it ate up all their bits! They couldn't do it.
