Guys,

I’ve got a 72 351C-2V motor I’m having redone. Well, the shop called me the other day and said the thrust bearing area on the crank wall is .013 over, and he can’t find an over sized bearing for it. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to find such an item? I wanted to use Clevite bearings but can’t seem to reach anyone there, and Summit has been no help. The shop says the crank and the block are otherwise in good shape. I REALLY don’t want to start digging around for a new crank. $$$$!

Help,

Joe

Ok, I spoke with Clevite's tech suport. They got noth'n. So it looks like a new crank. Anyone have any thoughts on where I can find a crank for a 351C?

I have my original crank that I removed when I went to the 408 stroker. It's never been cut and looks almost new. Would probably get a .10 cut to be safe. $75.00 plus shipping. RAY
