Default Compstar Equivalent

Is there something out there that is equivalent to a Callies Compstar?

Looking for:
3.75 stroke
6" rod
350 main
1 piece seal
2.100 pin

I was going to buy a compstar until I found that it is impossible to find one in that combo.

Thanks

GM makes a adapter to use a two piece rms crank in a one piece rms block. GM 10051118,very expensive, Moroso makes one also and it's about half the price of the GM one. Does Callies make a two piece rms crank to fit your specifications?

LoL a Google search turned up a few places One of em Speedway Motors BUT for the 900 to 1000 for a Compstar I would just pony up the 1083 for a Callies Dragonslayer!!! & if you find one cut for 5.7in rods you can still use a 6in rod Hope I helped a little bit

Go to Howards Cams or Competiton Products and get a Howards Track Smart 4340 forged crank, that's what I have in my new engine.

I prefer to stick with a one piece and for $383 more, I would defintely just go with the dragon slayer.

I've been googel seraching for over a week now. There are places that have them listed, but do not have them and cannot get them. I couldn't even tell you how many different places I have called.
I have one more call to place on Monday but I would bet they don't have one.

Thanks for the info on the 5.7 to 6" rods. i did not know that.

Ohio crank has always been good for me in the past He was lookin for a Compstar replacement & at the price I found on Compstars He might as well get the Callies Dragonslayer for just a little more My Callies Dragonslayer & Howards Billet rods are a work of art!!! Almost a shame to hide em inside the block LoL I found a Callies 3.875 on a vette website for 950, if you join the site & cant remember where the hell it was to save my life LoL

If you find that website let me know. I think I'm just going to get the dragon slayer.
My budget is whereever I end up or whatever I can hide from my wife. Ha ha.
