Forgot I had a used 273 block (with old camshaft and crankshaft) from a FABO who gave it to me some years ago where I found the correct woodruff keys in the old factory components.
Wrong Woodruff Keys (thanks E-Bay)

You'll have that. You could get closer at menards with the original ones in your hand.

Response from EBay seller:
"The pin was definitely an error, but the crank key is 100% correct for a SB. They are hard to get so many builders substitute a standard woodruff key. I have been building LA engines since 1964! 273s thru 408 strokers."

I just moved a key from a Magnum crank to a SCAT crank. It looked exactly like the ebay crank key. So it "fit" where an LA key would go.

That’s a chance you take with eBay. I just bought $100 hydraulic filter off of eBay for my tractor, supposedly crossed over to the part that I referenced. of course, it was wrong and not even close. $200 later I bought the correct one from a tractor supply place online.

That was my first impression when the package arrived, I thought maybe it was a Magnum part trying to replace the old school A-engine part.
