Will STEEL FORGED crank out of truck engine fit an LT1?
I heard from a friend that a 1 piece rear main seal,steel forged crank from a 350sbc 3/4 ton and 1 ton GM trucks will fit an LT1?
Like 1987 to 1998ish???
Would this be a cheap way to do an all forged motor beause the steel forged crank in the 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups are sopposed to be only like $200.00??
Just buy forged rods and pistons and be an all forged nitrous motor for cheap??

Yes if it's a 1-piece seal it'll fit fine, even if it's a 2-piece there's an adapter to make it work.
I know the truck blockes are 4-main, but not sure if the crank is forged. If it was forged it will be the lesser 1053 alloy as opposed to the superior aftermarket 4340.
