    I stand corrected I had seen the mold dies in the final shape but not the ones in the flattened form. for the dies I had seen the cranks may have may have been poured then trued in the forging die which would have made them cast & forged or forged cast iron instead of forged steel.
    I had a crank once that snapped in the middle of the #2 main in a Dodge 383 magnum we replaced it with a crank from Chrysler direct Connection that was turned from a solid billet
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
