*[http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-12489436 '''Crankshaft'''] is a quality, forged 4140 steel unit made for the 1-piece rear main seal configuration. Instead of the usual 3.75" stroke, it is a 3.8" stroke, so the displacement will still be 383 ci, but with a 4" bore block. Chevy saw no reason to bore out a new block just so a 3.75" crank could be used.
