My questions was more about if anyone had seen left over steel crack short blocks used in 72 cars or just steel cranks with the smogger pistons.
The answer to both questions would be YES , the cast crank was a midyear 73 thing in the 440.
I have two left with steel cranks, the third I used the crank, pistons and rods in a 76 hp block that had no ring grove, raced for years now going in a street car. I've seen more steel ones than cast.
