How do I identify a Ford 302 crankshaft?
The 302’s cast-iron crankshaft, first available in 1968, is identified with a “2M” cast into the forward-most counterweight. Newer 5.0-liter crankshafts are identified with a “2MA” on the journal.
What is the bore size of a Ford 302?

Will a 302 crank fit a 289 block?
The 289 had a stroke of 2.87 vs 3.00 for the 302. The cranks will interchange. The 289 block has a shoter cylinder and with the 302 crank installed you could get some rocking of the piston at BDC or break the skirt of the piston.
How can I tell if I have a 302 Windsor?
Visual Difference You can spot the difference pretty easily by looking at the front of the engine. On a 302 (or smaller c.i.d.) blocks, the distributor mount is almost flush with the top of the block (where the intake sits). The water passages are also right at the top of the block (where the heads sit).
What is the standard size of crankshaft?
Again if your not sure just ask! A standard Volkswagen crankshaft main journal size is 55mm this also can be measured as 2.165in depending on your location. When measuring the bearing this would be the bearing inner diameter (or i.d.). When measuring the crankshaft this is would be the journal outer diameter (or o.d.).
How do you calculate the oil clearance of the crankshaft?
By now, you will have the specs on the crankshaft mains and rods, the journals for both, and the specs on the bearings. Subtract the crank spec from the journal spec, and then subtract the bearing spec from that result. This figure is the clearance.
How do you tell the difference between a 302 and a 289?
The only difference between the 289 and 302 is the 302 has a 1/8″ longer stroke.
Are 302 and 351 Cleveland blocks the same?
The main difference between the blocks was the Deck Height . The 351 blocks were as much as 1.300 in. taller to allow for a longer Stroke . You can spot the difference pretty easily by looking at the front of the engine.
How do you tell a 302 from a 350?
350 and 302 flanges are entirely different. If I remember correctly the orig 302 crank is like the 283, round but it has a small pie shape cut out, if it’s completely round it’s a 283 crank, same 302 size engine. A 350 crank has a flange the shape of an arrowhead, when you see it you’ll know what I mean.
How do I choose a crankshaft bearing size?
Look at the back of the bearing for the size that is stamped into the edge of the bearing. If you are only replacing the bearings, you will want the same size that is stamped into the back of the bearing.
What does undersize and oversize mean?
An undersized bearing has extra material thickness on the inside of the bearing facing the crankshaft journal. Undersized bearings are used when a crankshaft has been machined or ground undersize. Oversize bearings have more material on the outside facing the bearing housing bore.
What is the clearance of crankshaft main bearing?
The commonly accepted rule that most crankshaft manufacturers prefer for street and performance engines is 0.0010-inch for every 1-inch of journal diameter. So for a 2.45-inch small-block main journal, the bearing clearance would be 0.0024-inch.
