need crank id help!
got a motor from a friend and have no idea what it is.... free's a good price so how do you pass it up right?
it's a FE that's been rebuilt, i know that much cause when i pulled the main caps they were .020 the only drawback is that i can't find the crank casting codee on it but someone (i'm assuming the previous machine shop) wrote 1F with a paint stick on the front counterweight of the crank... I'm gonna go with that as a code but what is it? i think its a 360 cause aren't 390's a T code on the crank? thanks for the help!!

360 cranks are 2T or 2TA. You need to measure the stroke. Or, look on the side of one of the counterweights for a casting code.
1F is not an FE casting code. Probably something that's only meaningful to the machine shop that put it there.

I'd keep it around. With the way FE aftermarket stuff is going, someone at some point should make decent pistons for a 360 (Barry R, you reading this?) When they do, you should be able to build one heck of a 360!
Until then, find a quiet corner in the garage...
