So, speedster guys... Rather than punish a flexy model T crank, which crankshafts interchange into a model T block easily? i thought the chevy 4 did but that might have only been pre 1925 (my memory lacks on this) i have a crankshaft that will fit in the center ok but will have to shorten the throw journals (is throw journals a word?) to make it fit & i only know one person who does things like that & he is retired. A model A crank would fit easier.
So which years was it?

thnx

Scat counterbalanced T crank. They make one with stock journals and throws and one with the larger A journals and throws, but the correct length...
