Forged Crankshaft - 302

The Forged Crankshaft - 302 is a precision-engineered rotating assembly component designed for Small Block Ford engine builds and rebuilds. This forged steel crankshaft serves as the critical link between piston motion and rotational output, converting reciprocating motion into usable torque. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, building a high-performance street engine, or undertaking a full engine refresh, this crankshaft delivers the durability and balance required for reliable long-term operation.

Manufactured from forged steel, this crankshaft features internal balance characteristics and a 3.649-inch stroke, optimizing displacement and performance parameters for Small Block Ford applications. The 1-piece rear seal design simplifies installation and reduces potential leak points compared to two-piece configurations. Forged construction provides superior strength and fatigue resistance over cast alternatives, critical for engines experiencing sustained high RPM operation or aggressive acceleration cycles. The internal balance design ensures smooth operation with compatible internal components, reducing vibration and extending component lifespan.

This crankshaft is ideal for Small Block Ford engine enthusiasts, professional engine builders, and restoration specialists seeking OEM-quality or upgrade-level rotating assemblies. Proper installation requires compatible pistons, rods, and balancing specifications—consultation with your engine builder or technical reference materials is recommended before purchase. The 52.36 lb weight and 24.5-inch length reflect the robust construction necessary for dependable performance. Verify compatibility with your specific Small Block Ford variant and intended use case to ensure optimal fitment and operation.
