Never seen it, doesn't mean it's not so.  Seems like different parts
of the country had different "standard parts" in the engines.  Fer
example, lotsa 4 bolt 350s in MT, not so many in MA.
I have a cast 283 crank in my EFI'd 302.  It's from a 67 though. 
Funny stuff in 67, spin on filters, no internal vent canister, no
machining for crankcase vent tube, but only on some engines.  I don't
know what the connection is, except maybe California emissions.
I've seen the notched 283 engines.  I can identify the source of one
as a GMC truck.  
Sorry, back to EFI...
