    OK, I know you are spinning your Engines hard but would you considder a cast crank for some thing not meant to spin higher than 6500 or so RPM? 4-spline 56ci cranks are not easy to find here either I see an input shaft adapter in near future, Think I can locate a donator shaft for it

    That rust on the taper will cause a problem holding the flywheel, you need to get that polished.

    the early 75hp had a cast crank, and skinny rods, some liked that setup best, said it pulled better. is lookin like she needs a buff.

    Think I Will be able to sort the rust on the taper with electrolytic rust removal and a buff. Just want to make sure I could use it before I put any work into it. Thanks for the heads up!
