Fixit,
OK here is a tufftride question for you: The factory maintenance manual for my 1967 GTX states that if the crankshaft in the Hemi is worn beyond limits, it is junk. I.E. it cannot be cut. I have asked many shops if the crank can be cut, then nitrided. They said they THINK SO. Some had doubts due to the tuftrinding penetrating to various depths on the journals. This, they said could cause an uneven cut due to various levels of harness at the same depth.
Do you know if people successfully cut then re-treat original Hemi cranks? and if so can you give me the name of someone who does this?
Steve
