440 crank forged or cast
 

I just came across a '75 440 with 29K miles. Can I use the cast crank in a Stocker motor that will be run with '69 motor specs? Will it hold up? Thanks

Forged would be be better but they weigh the same and either should be fine under normal conditions. About 10 years ago I weighed a 440 cast, 440 steel, 400 cast, 383 steel and all were 76 lb on my scale, I was quite surprised.

Depends upon how hard you are going to turn the motor. If over 6,500 rpm I would use a forged unit. The cast crank is definetly a weight advantage.
