Chris!
Thank you soo much!!! That is just the offer I was waiting for! I really
didn't want to use that nasty, heavy, indestructable, Forged crank anyway!
I'll have it cleaned and checked for cracks, have it cross-drilled,
chamfered and even have a pilot bushing for a 4 speed if you like, get it
packaged up and overnight it to you ASAP.....weisenheimer!
Tom
PS You can just have it, it's been taking up too much room and is too heavy
for me to move around anyway. What is your address again?

Hello List!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Lets keep this list going and hash
some Olds stuff! I am gathering parts to build my 455 for my 68 442
....
Stock exhaust manifolds
68 455 block w/forged crank (really)
3:23 posi rear
I haven't chosen pistons yet, I want it to be a strong street car and
maybe
take it to the track once or twice.
....
Soooo anyone want to
weigh in on this???

=====================
that forged crank is heavier than the cast iron versions. Won't rev as
fast.
you should ditch that crank and get a nice light strong Nodular cast iron
unit.
As luck would have it, I have a Nodular crank, std-std, and I will even
trade you for that heavy forging, straight up.
:-)
WANTED:
1968-9 2 groove Water Pump PULLEY "KA-401462" stamp . NOT the common PS
