SBF crankshaft

[FireSale]

The E302 mentioned is listed as being for 83 and newer blocks. What engine build are we talking about in this thread?

What is the stroke difference between an older build like the 68 Cougar 302/230 I'm trying to get legal and the 83 and newer blocks? I run the M-6010 BOSS 302 block.

The 1983 and newer are one piece rear oil seal. 1982 and older is two piece. The stroke is the same.

best regards,
Roland

Thanks. The Eagle I wound up with was listed as either one or two piece seal. My block, which is accepted for all SBF applications, takes a one piece.

Difficult to find perfectly clean and legal forged cranks for SBF.

Lots on the market, none on the list. Go figure.

Submissions by racers carry more weight than mfrs' requests.

According to the form at NHRA Racer, I have to ship the crank to Indy for approval. Can't do that now.

Dale,

Approval for cranks usually only needed photos from multiple angles and specs, I have sent pictures from a manufactures catalog along with specs, weight, journal diameter..material...and received approval. Piston and rods...different story.

Hey Brian...just a note...called Roush/Yates day after your last post...March 9th (live couple miles away here in Mooresville)...spoke to Carl...nice enough...he told me they were out...(?) for some time (!)... am not a e-bay guy...any other ideas?...thank you...for your time-Drake

Drake,

Did you check sriperformance. Roush Yates parts? I typed in their search the Ford part # M-6303-E302 and they still list that crank in stock. 289 plus shipping (used to have free shipping!) Try to order and see if it comes up empty, There were some Ford specialty guys who had them before.

PM me if you still struck out. I may still have my list of who might have them back when I bought mine.

I searched on this and here are my result with contact numbers. The first two list "subject to availability" while SRI, as Brian indicated, has a list price. Call them all.

One of the issues of web searches is that things continue to show up long after they are gone from the shelves.

AMP Performance 602-437-2727

Marken Performance 888-401-1362

SRI Performance 877-604-8077

If there are any of the cranks left it will not be many. I sold out of them a good while back. When Ford discontinues an item they provide great pricing sometimes. The deal right now is 302 Mahle pistons and ring kits. They are only available in .030" over and press fit.
