He's right.Trucks and Corvettes were usually the source for steel large journal cranks. Also, the 327/325 horse Chevelle motor had them. I heard of some little garage about 25 years ago that ordered a basic 307 rebuilt short block through a parts house, and when they got it, the 307 had one of those cranks in it,obviously put there by a rebuilder. I guess to them, they were all the same.
