Heck, I think you should pack that 327 up & send it to me.....Ill send you a 350 /4 bolt + stroker crank for a replacement to rebuild L
I might be mistaken about the LG327 steel cranks? Maybe it was the 4 bolt 327 that I was thinking?
I have been told that this spring I will be taking the Massey apart... and this time I dont have to put it back together!! I have waited for about 10 years to see if this engine does have the mythical steel crank and 4 bolt block...
If it does, I am going to take pictures and list casting numbers, etc.
If it doesn't, I am going to hide it in the corner of the garage and pretend I never saw it before
