Just had to go in the shop and check for myself....this is what I found using my handy/dandy/brandy new Berkley scale:

1969, Ford 302 OEM stock crankshaft---------40 lbs., 2 oz.
1969, Ford 351-W OEM stock crankshaft-------55 lbs. 7 oz.
after/market,forged Eagle 331 crankshaft------47 lbs. even

I would have thought the Eagle crank would have been a little lighter than the OEM 302 crank since the rod journals are drilled thru and thru were as the OEM cranks are not.....

Don't have any FE or big block stuff to check....
