Brand new motor and broke crank Just to releave some steam i thought i would share this **** with everyone. I reasently had my 370 built to with stand alot of nitrous, price was not a issue so after spending almost $8k on everything i now have a broke crank
Not sure how that happend, its only been started once for about 10 min to make sure everything was alright. Car ran fine on my old tune no knocks no loud sounds, tell yesterday i went to go start the car only to realize the flywheel is turning with the starter but the motor is not? **** sucks but now i will have to pull it again to put another crank in it and check everything else. So anyone have a crank for sale?

Yea i know now that its not the crank, but at the time i was pissed and was thinking the worst. Im sure its the flywheel bolts sheered or something to do with the flywheel. Thanks guys for the comments ill be taking it out sat.

Same thing hapened to me... Starter just spins flywheel. Removed lower cover on bell housing and I can spin flywheel by hand. But it will not move around prying on it.
Kinda knew what happened when I was comming out of corner on the gas then popin and sputtered then silence.. As I was coasting back to pits was thinking the crank broke right in front of reluctor ring (poppin then died)
I have broken flywheels before and the engine will keep running sometimes..
