Just wondering if anyone knows if the crank from the Mark VIII (1998) is forged or cast? I have one I'm selling on Kijiji and would like to list it properly. Thoughts? Anyone?

I dont believe so, the only special thing on the mark 8 motor was the teksid block, they got the crappier B heads and everything else was the same as the cobra

Glenn, that website seems to be somewhat inactive. Are there any other Mark VIII sites that you know of? I am an LSC fan and I'm doing my research before making a purchase.

Is it 6 or 8 bolts for the flexplate?

MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

Ya, it's not very active, but post up and they will give you the correct answer. These guys are really into their Marks and know everything. It is the best site that I know of.

Thanks much for the input. Not sure about the flex plate. Not sure if I even have it. The crank itself, though, would be a good way to check, right?
