Yep, preceded the Vette 180 crank. by 1+ years ?  Mustang GT 350, in production 4-5+ years ? Anyone have a picture ?
  I need a junker.  You would be helping the 32 valve RV8, cause.

Thanks guys.  How'd they get those holes in the main and rod pins ? Look how big those counter-weights are. Explains how they made it smooth enough. I suspect I can weld on counter-weights, without affecting strength of crank.  I want to water jet a "flat plane" crank from 4340 plate. Rough machine , weld counter-weights, heat treat and finish grind. Still less work than a round billet.

Great pic's Carl !   Forging # appears to be BFGR3E-A8 ?  "If" I can buy as a raw forging ? Possibility of a 32v. RV8, gets much
   simpler.                        Art.
