                                        You will only get 408 out of the 
360, where as you will pick up 8 more cubes with the 340.

was 1967.

Neal,

I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that the only Forged
cranks in the early LA318's came in truck motors. I think the
last year was 1967. It is easy to
tell the difference looking at the front balancer. If it is a forged
crank the balancer will be skinny, and if is a cast crank, it will
be thick. Just like the 440 stuff. But either way it should work
just fine, as long as you use the right balancer and torque
converter. Why don't you just buy a cast stroker crank and
get with the program. If it is going to be a street car with
a small block, you don't really need a forged crank. The cast
strokers can be had for about 300.00. The next piece of
advice is to sell your 340 block to one of the resto guys, who
think they are kool, and build a 360 stroker. It will kick butt
on any 340 you will build.

Earl


this is an LA 318 crank, not a Poly 318 crank I am wondering about. I know
its forged by the skinny balancer and i have heard tell the early 273s and
318s (LA) before 68 were all forged.
  Anybody else know if this will work in a 340 for a cheap way to a
  steel crank??????
