    6.0Liter Mark V crank--cast?forged?nodular?

     



    have a '91 model 6.0 crank. I thought all these had forged cranks, but this does not have the "wide" marking like all other forged cranks I have seen. Could it be cast?

    this is a different engine that what is going into the camaro. My son and I went up to my dad junk lot last weekend and pulled out 6 different bbc. engines. The one I am calling a 6.0 is block and head casting numbers --- 10114183 ----10101140? Did they not make a 6.0 in 1991. It also has 6.0 cast in the outside side of the block.?

    I knew it was a tall deck block, but was just wondering about the crank. thought I might hang on to it if it was forged steel. The whole thing went in the scrap iron bin tonight though when we picked up in the shop. Are the late model chevy pickups and suv's, with the "6.0" engine, also a tall deck block?

    That head casting number is listed in AERA book as 366 gm truck, block number is listed 91-98 truck--probably was a transplant/swap into the pickup
