Glen,

Have you verified the crankshaft end play? From what I have read, it should be in the range of 0.004" - 0.008". Perhaps Brent or one of our other engine experts can chime in.

Don't know if these numbers are different for a motor running an automatic (what your motor came with) versus a manual (what you plan to run).

Tim,
Of course I.....haven't.
Anybody know? Different for manual trans to the end play on an auto trans engine?
I'm hoping not.

Cheers,
Glen

Tim, I did some checking on this subject as a little bit of reassurance now might potentially save a lot of $$$ later.
George Reid's excellent reference book High-Performance FORD Engine Parts Interchange has no mention of a difference in crankshaft end play between auto and manual transmission configurations. Same story in a couple of other SBF/Windsor books. Internet searches showed figures of 0.004" to 0.008", 0.004" to 0.009" and 0.004" to 0.010" but no mention of differences between manual vs. auto transmissions configs.
No comments posted by engine builders, surprisingly.
I'm happy to assume no difference.

Cheers,
Glen

I found the part number for the Rod Shop flywheel if it's any use to now now.
Part no:FW42 CRS1699
