-68 383 crank

[__Larsson____]

So i found i guy tha got a crank from a 383 he's says that he dont remember if it's from a -65 or a -71. Are they different from a crank in a -68 like mine? Do they have numbers on them to use as a guide?

I doubt it matters much. What sort of build are you using it for, bone stock replacement??

71 - 383 is the only year they were made cast - for a low performance engine. All others are the same. I'm pretty sure anyway. The difference is obvious, wide ground line vs skinny casting line along the form.

Check the number if you can find it on the crank otherwise.

FYI the 361 is the same as the 383 too. 361's are steel.

Hard to see, but it looks cast from the bottom throw. Turn it 90deg and take a closer pic of the top or bottom throw for us.

It's forged. I'd run it.

Wide parting line on the middle throws, plus the way the counter weights look too...
