    Modified crank

    Quite often those rod throws have a big hole bored through to remove weight. This one was done by grinding. My guess is it didn't need as much taken off as the hole would have removed.

    DOHC 426 Hemi

    383 plastic on timing sprocket damaged

    The plastic parts are the sprocket teeth or was that not obvious. The purpose of being plastic is a lower noise level - presumeably!
