FORGED LT1 CRANK?

Forged or cast? I think forged? What do you guys think?

Looks forged. To truly tell you would have to look at the other crank journals.

Wide parting line = forged.

Narrow parting line = cast.

I answered this today, same photos in an email. LOL. This is a forged crank. This is also a 020 high nickel block.

I put it up here before I thought about you John, then sent you an email. It's a take-out CE LT1 that's the most complete I've ever seen - even smog. Crazy. Thanks all.

They cast all with the same iron. Urban myth that there is a high nickel material.
Bergy??
