The federal-Mogul engine bearing specification manual #115, dated 1982 which supercedes the 1980 edition lists the same crankshafts from 1956-63 for the 235 AND 261 engines. They have the following forging numbers:
3701486
3701488
3701488A
3770327
All the above crankshafts use the same rod bearings, Federal-Mogul 1950CP, and main bearings, F-M # 960M. THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES IN MAIN BEARING DIAMETER FOR ALL THESE CRANKSHAFTS.
