Do I Need a Bushing for the TC for a 273/318 Swap?

I know, but, I'm a born skeptic! :lol: I can only go by my own experience until I see proof of something different. A "carry over" from a 273 or 318 doesn't make any sense to me as the 340 used a total different billet. Same bearing specs, sure, but, weight and design is different...and with different forging marks to go with it. I'm assuming you're talking about calendar year when you say early '67, as there were no 340's in a '67 model year. And there again, I've never seen a 318 crank with a small register either, so, what are they carrying over? I owned a Mopar wrecking yard for 32 years, tore down hundreds of small blocks, and the only crank I ever saw with the small register (not counting the slant 6) was the '64-7 273 crank. I'm not saying that it's impossible some weren't made, but, show me one with good photos and some forging marks, or a Chrysler tech bulletin, and I'll happily acknowledge it as a true factory item. A genuine 340 crank will have a hole through the first and last rod journal. Solid journals are 273 or 318.
