Crankshaft ID

[southerneagle]

So,I go down to the local parts store looking for a crankshaft for a 70 340.
It's the last independent store around here.
He tells me he thinks he will still be able to get me one and the casting numbers are #2532457 but he can't tell me if it's a steel or cast crank.
Can anyone here help me?
Thanks for any help....Gary

Found this info at Allpar. If it is accurate, it is Forged.
