400 steel crank???

[SleeperScamp]

What's a steel crank from a 400 worth? Any market for them? I'm sure it would need to be turned..

400 crank is same as a 383 crank. I don't think there is anything special about them.

I don't think a steel crank ever came in a 400. Cast only.

Nope. Some 400 trucks had them.

I thought I read somewhere that 4-speed cars had them ....

Is it a 72?

Not sure. I'll have to check it out.

IQ52 told me 4 speed trucks had them

What's the other desirable thing about early 400 blocks though?

The early 230 casting has a strong web area. If you want a 475 hp engine, dont pay silly money for one. Any sonic checked B or RB block is just fine. They've been racin' 'em for decades.
