I am converting a military 302 to civilian use. For the time being I lost my build notes and I can't remember if it is required to change out the stock military crankshaft and replace it with a civilian 270 or 302 crankshaft.
If I recall, the only advantage to this switch is primarily a weight savings; the civilian 270 crank being lighter.
The 302 military crank and bearings I have are in great shape and wondering if I need to switch this out at all - to save some money.
I'm assuming that the military crankshaft is the same length as a civilian 270 crank? and there should not be a fit issue with the crank pulley/balancer and the radiator?
Can someone refresh my memory about these details?
thanks. Tom
