318LA Myth's still being created!

There is cast steel, though I don't know it's been used for cranks ever.

I remember very well back in the day discovering a 'new' Mopar in a junkyard or in some old lady's yard and popping the hood and letting your eyes fall on the engine only to have to say, "It has a 318...." It's the same let down now when I meet a really attractive woman only to note she has a ring on her finger, or a dog, or a Biden sticker, or all three.
