What kind of Crankshafts do the 348 and 409s have?
All of the 348 and 409’s have a forged crankshaft. Visually, you can tell them apart by looking at the rear bolt flange. If it’s round, it’s a 348 crankshaft. If it’s “D” or bell shaped, it’s a 409 crankshaft. Back to the top Q: Where can I buy parts for my 348/409 engine?
