Crank machining
Discussion
I'm looking at getting a second keyway cut in my crank as it will be driving a supercharger. I'm finding difficult to find an engineering company who can do this for me. If anyone knows of a company that can, then please let me know!
This is the car and supercharger!

Drill and pin it. Its common practise on LS1's, and Ive done it myself.
Make a guide, to drill between pulley and crank, along its length.
Hole can be seen here. I originally used a 6.3mm ( 1/4 ) bit. Normal cast cranks are easy drilled.

When I had to drill my new forged crank, it was a different matter. HSS barely even marked the surface.
Carbide tipped bit soon sorted it though.
send me your email, and I can send you more pics of the guide etc. It would be easy for any machinist to make you one.
Had a glance at your website. One comment on the fuel system. I had issues with the Aeromotive controller when I was using it. The push on terminals for the fuel pump arent great, and one of mine melted/arced badly due to bad contact. Given the load going through it, push on teminals arent great.
Just make sure they are in fact good and tight.
Check this out too.
