Hello All,

How can you tell a 308 crank from a 262/232 (other than mesuring stroke)? Is there a different casting number on them? Any info would br greatly appreciated.

Anyone know of any distinct markings, etc?

I have just answered your PM regarding this question. I had the same question a decade ago and was answered by Kelly Hindgartner via snail-mail. If you want to post my reply to your PM here - please do.

If there is an easy or simple method, I am sure that everyone would like to know - and would make a good item of reference for anyone searching posts/threads as well...

Dave,
Where would you find these forging numbers? Just trying to think of where one would view them, without taking the crank out... :confused:

`Hudsonator

Well, you'd have to at least take your oil pan off!

I had this picture in my old gallery here.

If you'll look at the thin counterweight between the #3 rod and the second main - you can faintly see the forging number on the crank.

Thanks Mark,
Sort of figured a pan removal would be required - but was hoping otherwise... Got to remove the pan anyway, so I'll put that on my list of things to do on my engine.
