Guest plainswolf Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Guys, did the 327 large journal engines all have forged crankshafts like all of the small journal engines? Or were any of the large journal cranks cast iron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustorbust Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I dont think that chevy made any steel large journal 327 crankshafts, i think that they were all cast or thats all that i have ever seen. James B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 The 327 large journal engine was a one year only item, 1968. 67's were small journal, 69's were 350's. So, a pretty scarce item. All the large journal 327's I have seen were steel crank engines, I've never heard of a cast one, but there could have been some. I used to own a 68 vette with a 327/350. Fine engine.

jap tin Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 They had both. Look at the seam. Wide, forged. Narrow, cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest plainswolf Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Ahh great! thanks guys! I was almost sure they offered at least a cast steel crank as opposed to iron... but didnt quite know for sure whether or not there were any forged steel in that series..
