Without a doubt the sbf forging has much better detail than the bbf unit.

It's a shame for no more effort that it would have taken, they didn't make the BBF forging the same way.

dosen't the scat unit come nitrated? My crank I pulled out looks as good when I stuck it in a 1 1/2 yrs ago.

Other than polishing,the craftsmanship on my bbf doesn't look bad imo.

Sonny Bryant forged cranks machined from the Ford raw forgings ... that's it. There are no others and hope you want a Boss snout.

Randy, isn't the stuff from Crower made in the USA?

YES ... but, that is made from a billet not a forging.

does crower have forged cranks?

I believe at one time Crower was buying the forgings from Ford and machining them, not sure if they still have any or not. Cool

In 2002 Ford sold their entire inventory of big block raw forgings to Sonny Bryant. Whatever happened before that time is anybody's guess, lol.

That darn sure is a fact.....I've never been sure of the year. I've said for years that Sonny must have bought a train loan of them...being that he still has some I'm thinking he could have bought two train loads Laughing

Ive got a raw forging laying in the shop. That sucker must weigh a 125 lbs! Shocked

Makes a good paper weight. The only machining done is it's centerdrilled on each end.
