A friend recently obtained this motor w/cast iron powerglide attached. Disassembly showed much wear all over and the crankshaft gone. The local machine shop is having trouble locating a crank. Any suggestions on where to look? - I FOUND ONE! THANKS TO ALL WHO OFFERED THEIR HELP.
Main journal dia = 2.2978-2.2988
Rod journal dia = 1.999-2.000
Stroke = 3.0 +/- .005
(according to 1955 truck shop manual)
I don't have a 1957 manual, so don't have 283 specs. Is 283 crank the same as 265 crank?
