Crankshaft

Chevrolet crankshafts have a casting number located on the rough surface of one of the counterweights or between the bearing journals. Standard performance used cast (nodular iron) cranks, while high performance engines used forged steel cranks.

These are cranks that would have been used in Camaros as either standard or replacement during the period. There were other cranks used in Chevrolet engines which may have ended up in your motor if it's not original. If you do have a crank with a number not listed here, you can find it in "Chevrolet By The Numbers" by Alan Colvin. Find out where to get it on the books page.
