With the raised lettering and the looks of it I would say cast. But it could be cast steel/ nodular iron like the armasteel Pontiac cranks of the day.

I've got these, full set. I bought a ring set for them $350.

I am going through some of my parts. Got this zoom set I think is 55-64 Chevy but Google does not find it. 8 tooth pinion with 17 spline, 41tooth ring gear.

I have a set of Holmes

Happy birthday!

I bought a 1 7/8" kit from show cars abput 10 years ago. Who made those kits?

Had avalible safety equipment but didn't use it, shoulder harnesses. Driving with control problem, sticking throttle. Riding brakes until overheat=brake failure. I hope the mini van occupants are ok. Don't need innocent people/children hurt. Fix problems with a vehicle before driving.

Do you get a later 8.2 posi by mistake?

There was a 63 split window locally that got all the gell coat sanded off and then left outside in raw fiber glass. Later got "saved" with bodywork and a LS swap.

Get well Joel!!

A lot of the small metal flakes can come from the valve springs. I've expoxied a magnet on the head to catch that. One time caught a valve keeper on one.

3.84 on a 427 crank. Take .100 off the journal, the pin center moves out .050 by offset grinding making .100 more stroke.

Small block rod would give more clearance/less grinding for clearance between rod and block.

Happy Birthday!
