Hint, it was the only factory production smallblock with a 10k redline. Pre 67, small journal, small block v8 were all forged cranks. 1968,69 350, some pickup engines were forged. (I have two, have sold one additional.) 67 engines could be either way, cast or forged crank. Also, there was a 68 or 69 large journal 307 or 327 offered with forged crank, tho I don't remember the details. Just remember going to a swap meet with a guy who went ape over finding one.

Everything, or are > there sensors that I can do without? Dan, Glad to see someone else bringing modern fuel injection to a '61. I swapped most of a '93 Vette under my '61. Paul Newman did my chassis, and it's orders of magnitude better than what Chevy designed back in '53. I've got a pretty comprehensive web site you'll want to take a look at - http://reality.sgi.com/gervais/bodyoff.html If you haven't already, get a helm manual for the donor platform. You'll want to make sure your sensors are matched to the '727 ECM you're running. Some folks doing LT1/LT4 swaps have run into issues because the early LT1s used a different impedance knock sensor than the later LT1s. Don't know if TPI has similar issues, but I wouldn't doubt it. Dal Slabough at Lambert Pontiac Buick (800) 711-2793 is a great source for parts. He sells any GM part and Helm manuals at 5-10% over cost. Good Luck.
