    Stock crankshaft

    OK, showing my ignorance here but what is the stock crank in 03 Marauders? I believe cast steel instead of forged like the factory supercharged Cobras. Hard to find that little tidbit of info for some reason.

    It's a 6 bolt crank not an 8
    Like a Cobra.

    Yep....cast 6 bolt cranks.
    Cobras and manual trans MACH 1s had forged 8 bolt cranks.

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the info. Getting ready to start preliminary build sheet on 163k before it goes too far, still perfect but its time.
