Seems to me the bottom half( short block,cam, pistons, etc.) on that engine were the same as the 325 horse. the heads were one-off, about equivalent to a 71 402 head,but with a different part number, but that crank you mentioned is a cast crank. Almost all the 68-9-70-71 396/402 standard production units were cast. ('<').
