Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Anyone have an old 327 crank laying around for a large journal block ? I don't care if it's a stock one, an Eagle, a Scat , an Ohio Crank....I don't care. Just something that will work. You can call or text me at (434) 665-9541. Thanks

Actually you can use a 307 crank as well.

What is a mule motor ? I have one I've been holding onto

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Pretty sure I have one. Let me check.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Sounds good. I appreciate it. Oh...btw..a mule motor...to me its just a test engine or something to get some seat time with and maybe run some gear jammer races with. Nothing special.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Hmmmm, Looked in garage. I've got 2 small journal forged 327's and a forged 283. I do have some more cranks over at my warehouse. I'll try to get over there soon and let you know.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Last four numbers cast into the crank are 1001.Seems to be the only number for the cast crank,307 or 327.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Terry, I think all 283 and small journal 327 cranks are forged.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

I have a complete 68 327 I can yank the crank out of

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

The complete number is 3911001. Cast crank for 307 or 327. 1968 vintage.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Yep, think your right.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Some late (65-67) 283s were built with cast cranks, but you are right about the small journal 327s.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

More decades ago than I like to think,I bought a 283 core, took it home, dismantled it, and it had a cast crank. The balancer was"t really a balancer, it was a one piece cast hub. it also had a bronze pilot bushing in the rear of the crank. I still have the hub-I use it with my degree wheel when plying with camshafts. I used the block in my 66 Chevy I had at the time, all that stuff is long sold off. I do remember the 283 cast crank,though.

I don't know much about this, but why not use a small journal forged crank with the spacer main bearings? And small journal rods?

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

I know at least SOME 68-69 327 cranks were forged, maybe all but i'm not sure

I also know 265/283 cranks were forged, except the later (67 fur sure) were cast...

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

I know what you mean Ed, but I can't locate a spacer for a small journal crank in a large journal block, other than using a couple sets of main brgs and a lil creative work....lol. Basically, I'm just being lazy...lol

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

J.C., I have them in mine. 350" sized main bores, 283" crank journals. Front 4 are thick bearings, rear main has spacers behind it. Want me to go find the part number?

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

I found it. Thanks a bunch. What I came up with is MS1110H.....now I just need a small journal crank....LOL

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

I am not sure but I think that P/N has been discontinued.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

We actually have some in stock ( I shouldn't admit that...lol ) and I found plenty of others, although they may be discontinued.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Got a couple of them.

Re: Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor
 

Do they need grinding ? PM me or text / call me at (434) 665-9541 if you want to sell one please
