Sorry, not an f-body part wanted. A guy I know is looking for a good crankshaft for an early '50's DeSoto 276 or 291 Hemi, Must be a Desoto hemi (not Dodge or Chrysler). The Desoto crank seems to be made from unobtainium so far.....
Any leads or sources anyone knows about, let me know. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll let him know. He's building a "Tall T" Model T street rod and wants to use the 291 Hemi in it. Kind of cool because he's a Ford guy that bleeds Ford blue, lol! Most everything else for the engine is usable, except the crank (beyond reasonable economic repair).
 
Thanks! He found one that was salvageable with only a .010/.010 machining a couple months back.
