1967 Camaro SS 350 crankshaft

[1967camaross396]

 Hello I'm Tom
new here had a question about a 1967 Camaro SS I know that the 350 was first introduced in 1967 SS Camaro I wanted to know if the crankshaft was steel or cast. As far as I know they were only steel forged crankshaft . Any help or proof of some article or documentation to show that it only came steel or cast would be great thank you.

 Per the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro (Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center) publication, Revised Jan 1967,  Power Trains-9 page, the 350 used a forged steel crank.

Thanks for the information . Can you please send me a link or site so I can read it with my own eyes. I'm purchasing a car with the motor out of the car. It comes with a cast crank. The price of the car comes down to the crankshaft. It is a Canadian documented car and everything checked out to be good with the exception of the crankshaft. Thanks Mike

I believe the 1967 350 is a small journal motor. If that is true where would a small journal 350 cast crank come from?

 The L48 had larger journals than the 327.  You can find the details in the document that was linked above.

67 was the first year for the 350 cu in engine. 67 350 was the first large journal crank. 68 all other small block crankshafts became large journal.
