Marty,
What do you plan to use it on? Early crank breaks were due to cast cranks. Most conversions now have some version of the "Force One Hub", which may or may not be attributed to GAPSC. Your best bet here is to get the serial number of the engine and ask Joe Horvath at Revmaster and Marty Roberts at GPASC, if it is suitable and what it would take to get it air worthy, assuming that you plan to use it in an aircraft.

I know that if you use a redrive there is a weight penalty. But does the safety factor go up as well.
