    crank should have been keyed when blower went on...wayyyy too much tension for the LS setup. I have no clue why they didn't key them from the factory. Especially on a motor base that is making such good numbers STOCK. I'd try to bolt it up, remove bolt, tack weld pulley to crank (if possible) and reinstall bolt while you save for a permanent fix.

    I did something similar on my old 79z28, broke the key, ended up using a helicoil on the main bolt (which a few racing forums recommend even on new cranks because they are stronger). It help up fine after that.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    there is no way to weld it together due to the design of the pulley/crank. The pulley has a flange and hole only big enough to get the bolt through.

    Looks like it may be to put one or two pins in vertically to replace having a square broached slot along the length of the crank snout, not quite like how ATI and Magnuson do it with a dowel pin.

    More like this one... http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/corvet...k-pin-kit.html

    Page 36 in the Magnuson catalog has the PN for the pinning kit... http://www.magnusonproducts.com/pdf/catalog.pdf

    im leaning towards the ati kit, its cheaper than a new motor.
