Title: Buick 300 V8: Crankshaft casting numbers
Post by: rfsmith48 on February 07, 2010, 04:36:53 PM
Folks,

Does anyone have a list of the crankshaft casting numbers for the different years of the 300 V8?

Thanks,

Rog

Rog, from 1984' TRW cat. X3007.  Forging #'s list make and stroke(possible V6/V8)? bu: 1357899,1378351,1378354 and bu/po: 1357898(V6).? Of course, these are all "Arma Steel"-cast cranks. Later Rover cranks are reportedly, "uprated material". I haven't heard of anyone breaking late Rover cranks.Good Luck, roverman.
