???383 crank???

Anybody know what brand crank this is. Measured 3.75 stroke. Was told it was a scat forged standard weight. It rings like a bell when tapped with a ball peen hammer (read that trick somewhere to see if its forged or cast?). But casting line is telling me its cast. this pic on rear facing flywheel

I showed him exactly how to identify it including pictures of all the markings. He had his answer in the last thread and that's why he didn't receive any responses.


You got burned on what you bought, and nothing was as advertised. That includes the crank...
