It very well could be fine, if it is just be careful and follow the proper torque etc. whenever you remove that bolt. I put almost 200K on my 91 and it had a small nose crank, never a problem and I drove the piss out of it.

Yea it is a small nose for sure. Has some kind of crazy looking plastic wrapped around the crank pulley where the key way is. I'm guessing its some kind of reinforcement.
Slow and steady progress shooting for spring time. Made a header for the engine did an E cam swap with adjustable cam gears got the bottem of the car painted front subframe in engine and tranny in fenders back on and most of the front suspension on. Still lots to do.
Also bought this with a friend but thats a whole different topic
Jay does the class bump open up any other useful options as far as mods you were skipping to try and stay in the stock class?

I was trying to stay within the Street touring rules but like I said before I gutted too much out of the car for that but running within the Street Modified rules I can use my carbon fiber hood, second gen knuckles, rx7 ball joints and it leaves me open to turbo the motor later on of I ever feel like doing it. It's a pretty open class when it comes to mods.
Would i be able to run in SMF or is my transmission swap a bit too out there? lol

D. Drivetrain and related components (induction, ignition, fuel systems, etc.) are unrestricted except for the following limitations:
1. Engine block (or housings of rotary engines) must be a production unit manufactured and badged the same as the original standard or optional engine for that model. Badges that exist as market- ing aliases for the manufacturer will be recognized as equivalents. Swaps involving makes related only at a corporate level are not rec- ognized as equivalents. Models produced as a joint venture between manufacturers may utilize any engine from any partner in the joint venture, provided that an engine from the desired manufacturer was a factory option in that particular model (e.g., Eagle Talon, avail- able originally with either a Mitsubishi or Chrysler engine, may use any motor from Chrysler or Mitsubishi). This allows engine blocks manufactured as production units for sale in other countries such as Japan or Germany.
