Wheeler power products I am assuming? They are long gone. But if you came across a crank, its an RPM international crank etched with their name. I never purchased one to use, but have had a few come thru, and they worked fine. Just measure and make sure you get the appropriate bearings for proper clearance. They were on the big side. There are definitely better choices to be had though.

Frankshaft, do you know who Wheeler used for their H-beam rods? Of course the next question is are they any good?
A friend of mine has a set NIB. 6.385".

Same source, RPM international. They are ok too. Just an fyi, that's who Motorville's "renegade" line of parts are sourced. As is competition products. As are many others.

I used to use them for 440 Mopar engines I did, when I used stock cranks. The only thing was the little ends were to wide to fit between most off shelf Pistons, in between the pin bores. I liked them for no other reason was price point, and they came with ARP 2000 bolts. But, I always had to trim the little end widths. Check sizing, and make sure little end fits between pin bores of Piston, and run em. They are fine.
