broken-wheel 659 Posted July 3, 2017 12 minutes ago, CHESTNUTXE said: i also found a ef crank for this 86 da block,will put it aside for the next crossy project,(blower shop aussie speed combo) be careful with EF cranks, out of 5-6 only was was ok for me, i have a few in the garage that are fucked, check crank end float before you take it out of the motor or buy it as the first EF's had major issues with the thrust bearings eating cranks and ford were changing cranks on daily basis 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,302 Posted July 3, 2017 funny you say that i was talking to my mate who owns a tranny shop ,he used to work in the geelong plant in that era and said the same thing that 4.0L were eating bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broken-wheel 659 Posted July 3, 2017 yeah it was the late EF's early EL's, the fixed it in the later ones, I'll try and get a part number on the right cranks but you can just use a big screwdriver to test the float, trust me it's not easy to find a non fucked one 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,302 Posted July 3, 2017 how much end float should it have ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broken-wheel 659 Posted July 3, 2017 I'd go for 15thou max but good luck finding one that's not flogged out to 3mm, some at the wreckers have 5mm 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
