Shhhhhh! dont tell too many guys that, or you wont get a good deal cheap   L Truely, on the high nickle blocks(10/20) on the front face of the block , under the chain cover .....I have 2 or 3, 2 bolt(350) blocks, & a 4 bolt block(all truck stuff).And while the 350 steel cranks are hard to come by, a steel crank in a LJ 327 is really rare  L
