Ran into a crankshaft issue! I' m currently building a 399 boosted iron longblock...heres the issue ive ran into....the Callies Magnum crankshaft I just found out today from the engine builders, is that the magnum crankshaft isn't available and Callies won't make another batch for 3-4 months out, I'm kinda on a time crunch and am wondering if any of you know where I can get one that is a 4.030 and also what other name brands are there that are reliable? callies was my main choice and please don't say eagle or scat....I want to know what other brands are highly dependable like the callies magnum that will be good for high boost levels 20+

Well never mind, I was given the wrong stroke and crank size , long story short Callie's wont have their crank for the 399 setup ready to sell for 4 months so my only fast option to get the motor going was to punch it out to a 408 which I did and the magnum 4" crank is readily available. I guess I lucked out there.

yeah sorry it was a typo, I was in a hurry. The crank was a 3.9something which I was trying to find because I wanted the magnum crank, found out callies is making more now but won't have more available for the size I needed for my 399 for about 4-5 more months so basically my only fast option was to push it from 399 to a 408 and that ended up working out great because I could still get the magnum crank but in the 4" which is available so its a win win, more displacement, tad bit more power and the most important part, I should hopefully have the engine to me, and suspension, engine, holley efi, and tuned in about a month. I want this thing up and running for the summer!
