You can't always believe a photo

Just kidding, of course.

Hey, this does look like the real deal.

I suspected, after hearing Ross and others talk about problems with 428s in industrial settings, that Ford would eventually come around and see that it's cheaper (and better PR) to make a forged steel 428 crank than repair blown motors under warrantee.

Chrysler 413 industrial motors no doubt had forged cranks (the cars did, as I recall) and were pumping irrigation water with good reliability. Apparently, Ford eventually saw the light.

Thanks for the ebay info. Now I'm a 95% believer that they exist.

Shoe.
