No luck yet on identifying that odd-ball crankshaft but took a second look
with a dial gauge. Remeasured the big-end bearings and they were all approx
1.7500 inch. Got the Haynes manual out to check the tolerances and
discovered that they should be 1.6250 inch.
A-haaaaaa!!!
Big big-ends!!!!
That explains why the rods are filed down to (not quite) fit the 1275 block.
