Bob,I have a 283 #3896944 with a crank #3876768,the crank has the small casting seam like Pat was describing and the flange is mushroom shaped,two notches.I just had it turned and the machinist said cast,and said nothing to the effect of it not being a 283 crank.Mortec lists it as a forged 283 crank but it's not forged steel. I used to have a small journal forged 327 crank and there is a big difference in the casting seam and even the color is different,the forged is lighter in color.So now I'm really confused,block,crank and heads numbers say this is a 283???Last edited by shevy not heme; 06-17-2006 at 07:21 PM.
