crank counter weights are small in my book.
fit in the palm of my hand.
just dont have any small blocks except the modulars.
did not break out the lift and get it of the homemade roll around...( getting ready for big car show this weekend)
may be better to just redo the old 289..truck is original except for seats and shifter.

hey baddad
did not know if you re-looked at this.
seems to me to be an early 80 302. with the crank stamp.
going to take the engine back apart this weekend to clean dust out of it and put new assembly lube etc.
getting it ready for install.
sooo
if it looks like the 289 standard trans stuff will fit...i will head that way.
guess if it is not balanced will just take it back aprt unless anyone thinks they have this one figured out.

It's a 50 oz crank. And it's not one of the good ones being it's an early 80's unit. I've seen two of these break in their original applications--- one a Lincoln Town Car, the other in an early 80's F150. Neither was driven hard.

If you can find a late 80's to 01 crank, jump on it. I have two extras but with the shipping they'd run you more than you could get one locally. Last one I bought was thru Advance Auto Parts in a crank kit. It was something like $150 with new bearings to match. Still going strong after two years run time, and with a 4 speed manual banging it from behind. It gets spun daily to 6000.

The early 50 oz 5.0 cranks are the only ones I've ever seen break, all others are bullet proof. The casting quality on the later 50 oz units is so good they almost look like forgings. I've spun one to 7500 and had no problems with it. I don't know what the deal was with the early ones. The cranks for the 255's were hollow and had the same dimensions as the 302 crank, could be some got swapped in these motors by chance at the factory.
