Some peole don't under stand the difference.Most 350 cranks had a thine seem line on the back of the crank where the fly wheel goes.The Hipo steel crank had a wide ground down kinda smooth line.So if you have a cranks with a small raised line that's a cast crank.The one with the wide grained smooth Is a steel crank .Here is a trip all of the Sm block 327 had steel cranks the large Jernal ones had ether one.Here is nother crazy one to add to the Mix If any of you have a 307 block put a 350 crank in it you now have a 327 large jernal 327 they put out some HP like in the 1966-67 nova's
