I consider myself a Mopar guy until we talk cranks. How do you tell which is a steel crank and which is a cast crank. Out of engine and still in an engine, maybe even still in the car? Thanks and sorry for the stoopid post.

Thanks- the pics are great!

Simple test, if you hit it while suspended (the crank, not you) and it rings like a bell is a forged crank.

If not, then it's either a cast crank or a bad forged one.
