dunno about part numbers, but look at the crank snout, if its been ground down from factory its cast, steel ones ahave a thin line.
also hit it with a steel object, if it resonates for a long time with a high pitched frequency its a steel crank. |
Old holdens brought on the spot, quick decision, cash paid. |

Well my early E189 18/5/69 308 HP crank rang like a bell with a lighter colour to the HQ 308 crank, the HP rods same colour as the crank and had massive forging lines, don't think the crank was steel but it must be like the 351 crank in the HO as it is supposed to ring as well.
