    Hello all,

    I'm looking to replace the crankshaft on my 1952 Cadillac 331.

    The crank on it now has a casting number of 1455101.

    I have cranks with casting number 1462473 advertised also for 331.

    Does anyone know if these 2 cranks can be interchanged ?

    '49 - '54 cranks interchange according to Motor's 1956 flat rate. Will check the casting book at work for more info.

    All 331 cranks may physically fit but there is a difference in the bolt pattern on the flywheel flange. I have a '55 331 and found this out the hard way.
