hi, I have an old 440 motor it as 12.5:1 wiesco on stock crank I did not run it since 2001. I would like to change the crank to a HD one what would you guys recommend ?? I was looking a the Hotrod cranks (part number 4040)

or would the stock crank setup be ok with a 12.5:1 Wiesco ???

Thanks!

if you get the hot rods, why not get the stroker crank and the stroker piston to make the bike a 460cc

I dont realy want to do a stroker bike.

would a Carillo rod be better then the Hotrod crank/rod assembly ?

Carillo makes some of the best rods in the automotive industry.
