Standard 383 crankshaft drilled 4 speed

I was thinking that you might find a local A/T one cheap and have it drilled vs paying a premium for a 4sp unit and then paying shipping .

AFAIK, all of the steel cranks are drilled for four speeds. The cast cranks are not. You cannot drill a cast crank without the possibility of breaking into the oil passages in the crankshaft. Several members here have done just that. So you have to be careful. I don't recommend it at all. I would just hold out for a steel crank.
