Re: IML: CAST CRANKS

["A. Foster" <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Hi;
  The cast crank 440's came out about  in 1972 or so. Even so I doubt
whether a vibration issue would be related to whether the engine has a cast
iron crank as opposed to a steel one, I would take a look at your harmonic
balancer as well as the engine mounts. Other possibilities for vibration
could be the transmission, the driveshaft, or even a worn out distributor.

Hi Everyone,What year did the 440's come out with a cast crank? I have
some vibration issues with a 440 from a 68' 300 that's in my 66' Imp.
