Thanks it does look pretty nice.
Here is another pic of the crank.

I forgot to mention, this crank came with grooved mains that I had welded up before they went .020". And the sad thing about this crank, the guy I bought it from had just had it turn .010" from standard and who ever he had do the machining didn't know what they were doing because both the rods & mains were below the minimum on the low side, so I ended up paying twice for the same work, but at least the 2nd time it was done right.

Then there's the bearing selection, which are mostly fully grooved mains in .020" under, so I went Cleveland 1/2 grooved mains and ground the tangs off the bearings, then had the crank ground to spec.

"The DSO parts build list for the T-Bolt also calls for the C4AE-G forged steel crank, along with the 4V NASCAR engine."

And no I don't go to facebook, but thanks for the info.
