390 out of a grain truck

anything special of these like steel cranks like the d9te?

No 390s had steel cranks only FE that had one was the 427s, and some of them were even cast.

Here is some good info!

If that 390 is a 391 it should be steel. I don't think there is a huge demand, however there could be someone

duff two things that get my attention! Does the crankshaft have the engineering number D9TE? If so I doubt it is a FE variety and if in fact it is a FE crankshaft from a 391, yes it has value. Contact the FE boys.

The 391 crank in a 427 make it about 396. and yes its steel.

i had a D9TE crank out of a grain truck that was forged steel..sold it awhile ago.. this "391" is in my friends 1963???? grain truck.
they are upgrading so its in running condition.. i need to get out there and snag some numbers and shoot a few pics

I'm gonna take a stab at it, and if it's that old, it's a plain ole 390 not a 391. I've never seen the 391's until in the 70's. That is better for you, because the 390's are usable in a wide range of vehicles, and share parts with trucks/cars.
