I dont have the old key cause i bought the ls6block brand new bare and im building it up to a 383..i got a long way to go though...im in no rush to get it built and budget is limited from part to part..right now i got the bottom end installed along with the T-rex ...i have the oil pump, double roller timing chain, and most of the other components for the front of the engine..heads are at tea and intake is on order.i also have the rockers and pushrods..so really im not too far away from completing....from there bank account is dry...the only thing im worried about is timing the camshaft...and thats where the crankshaft key came into question...Sorry for the length of the post but i thank all for the info...and ill keep updating on the progress of the 383...thanks again
