[edit] Fillet of Laurentian?
The article says the 421s had "a rolled fillet crankshaft". Huh? I presume it meant "billet". Can somebody clarify? Trekphiler 21:41, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- No, it not a typo. The fillet is the area at the extreme ends of the rod journals, kind of a sunken in area before the smooth machined part reaches the unfinished part of the crank between the rod jouurnals. A rolled-fillet is stronger than a standard one.--King V 23:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
The article is off on the 301 as well the 1979 pontiac grand am also came with a 301 with a hearst 4 speed shifter in some editions
[edit] Hot Rod article
Someone posted a old article from Hot Rod magazine from March 1968 about the Pontiac OHC V8 http://www.wallaceracing.com/ohc-v8-cover.html maybe it could be use as a reference --sd-100 February 10 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 14:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
