Desirable Engines

All toronado engines, but the 1969 for sure is even better because of the
forged crankshaft

Tom,

If the engine is a 455, then it is not a forged crank from what I have
read. It might be a nodular iron crank which is supposed to be slightly
better than a regular crank. There have only been a couple of 455 forged
cranks ever seen. They would probably be worth more than our whole
motorhome. If it is a 425, then it could be a forged crank, but you are
giving up the displacement. The engines in those years had higher
compression and better cams. They were rated at about 375 HP @ 4800 RPM.
They might not work well on today's regular pump gas though.
