It's crank could be forged or cast, most likely forged? I was told these motors all had 8bolt cranks.. but this '73 413 had a 6bolt forged crank... 5297140-rsz_cars_038.jpg (81 downloads) Last edited by R70RUNNER; 06/16/09 07:53 PM.

Have you checked the casting numbers at 440source? he has a great ref spreadsheet Current cars: 2000 Dak Quad Cab, 2012 Challenger,1970 Road Runner, 1994 Firehawk 1966 Coronet post sedan, 1988 Corvette, 2005 Magnum RT all SOLD R70RUNNER<---VP Inland Empire Chapter of the MPM

Battery negative cable to block, positive cable to starter. add a mechanical oil pressure/water temp gauges to monitor things. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I've even run them with a junk converter when no flywheel was available... 5298113-008.JPG (42 downloads)
