I've heard of eagle crank breaking. In a different application though.
Spend the money an go to a comp star or dragon slayer.
If I were u I'd want to find out what caused the crank to break before I do anything.
Good luck Scotty.

No way I would weld on a 1100hp crank. Heat can change the characteristics. Especially that much heat. When you turn these cranks, you are cutting through the surface hardening. The nitride layer doesn't go far into the crank. .010 might be enough to get through that nitride layer.
