Need a crank...

[k_mesaros]

Anybody know where I could get a good standard/standard 3.0 crank? You can tell from my last post date that I have been inactive- so has my car. The engine I put in my car spun a rod bearing more than 2 years ago, now I am finally over the hatred and ready to fix it..... again.

I want to say they used that same crank in other applications. Which off hand I dont know.

If by other applications you mean the 3.0 and 3.2 SHO motors...then yes. However, the SHO crank is specific to the SHO. Your best bet is to find a used SHO motor without a spun bearing and rebuild it, and toss your motor with the spun bearing.

I think if you post in the parts wanted section you will find quite a few people with spare cranks. I have one from a 3.0 that is available but I'm all the way on the east coast. They are pretty heavy so shipping would not be cheap. See if you can find one a little closer to home.

I've got a good spare crank... It needs some repair work on one of the counter-weights, but otherwise is in really good condition.

The 3.0L and 3.2L crank are the same so you can use a crank from either engine. At this point id say take all your 3.0L stuff and find a good 3.2L bottom end, youll love the extra grunt of the 3.2 over the 3.0

I was considering the 3.2 swap, and there is a 3.2 for sale local, but thought the head gasket sets required for this swap were $$$$$$$$. Am I wrong?

They used to be - now they are $100 for a pair. Pretty fair price. Buy the 3.2, swap your heads and be good to go.

And don't forget to slap some new rod bearings in it!
