I guess that internet diagnoses also depends on the direction of the play, if it’s in and out thrust bearing is my bet, up and down... not as likely to be the thrust...

This was my first thoughts. It kinda hard to imagine that a crank which is cracked all the way through, enough to allow wobble at the dampener is going to get very far without some serious problems. Thrust bearing seems more likely. Still, building a 383 is fun work if you're not pressed for the motor.
