No steel crank.
Factory rated at 400 horse. I honestly have no idea if its ever been apart. I see no signs of it ever being messed with but I cannot guarentee it.
Here's some pics.

Early 68 455's with a tow package had them, including some 2bbl. January and February seemed to be the only months they were made that year. The steel crank has always been an enigma.

The steel cranks were only offered in 1968,& were not even made the whole year.They are overrated,& not needed.An N-crank will do just fine.If not,get a billet crank.
That 70 455 is a nice core to start with.

I have one of those mystery steel cranks turned 10 under and ready to go. It weighs 4 lbs more then the nodular iron crank. No sure it I am going to use it or not.
The 70 toro engine has E heads with large valves. These a great engines to build on. Good luck in selling it
