Re: 440 Crankshaft Question

[JimJablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

You never know.  A buddy of mine had an old cabin cruiser with two big blocks, and one of them was designed to where the crank turned in the opposite driection.  Had an entirely different set of part numbers for seals, etc., as a result.  I believe it was designed that way for steering the boat...

Subject: 440 Crankshaft Question

 I am doing a 440 build with my son, it is a 1978 Marine engine and is externally balanced. When we tried to install a flex plate, we found out that the 6 bolt pattern is different than a internally balanced steel crank.  I realize that I have to use externally balanced flex plate for this application but I would have thought that Ma Mopar would not have used a different bolt pattern between cast/steel crankshafts. If both patterns are the same then my marine 440 has a unique pattern. Can any list member confirm my conclusions? Thanks in advance.
