That's the funny thing... The casting # is for '67 (3903352), but the engine stamp on the front reads for a '65 327(TO113EA). It's very odd. Jim --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What year block? I think only the early blocks weren't drilled in the crank. 65 and older?

Regardless if the crank snout is drilled or not, that bolt shouldn't be used. It's a fine thread and can strip easily. Best to get the right tool for job. Better to get a crankshaft socket and use a 1/2" breaker bar. Besides, with the socket you can turn the engine both ways if needed.
