The crankshaft is interchangeable between early A12, A12GX, late A12, late A13 and A12A. Only the flywheel bolts differ, after 1974 using metric bolts. Stroke comes in four sizes:
- 70mm (2.76 in.) stroke: A12/A12A/A13(1980)
- 77mm (3.03 in.) stroke: A13(1974)/A14
- 82mm (3.23 in.) stroke: A15

Apparently there are two forgings of crankshaft:
- Heavy duty
- Light weight: thinner straight sided counterweights that also have small scollops out of them. This may be the Datsun Competition crank.
- Twin-carb engine (A12GX, A12T and A14T) crankshafts are the same as a standard engines.
- 1974-up cranks use metric flywheel bolts. Early engines used British threads. See A Engine Redesign
