The cranks were forged by a company located
on the west side of Detroit who has gone out of business long ago. This is per Bob Gillian and
"Whitey" from Moldex.

I suspect the dies were destroyed at the same time the company closed but typically the dies
were owned by GM so who knows where they are today.

Tom Nell told me the number of 366 crate engines was much higher that the 100 mentioned
in Tom S note.

Most of the 303 parts initially went to H.B.
in Texas and were later bought by Ron Sherman.
