The main disscustion is about,if 300's have weak crankshafts,& yes I have seen one personally broke on a well taken care of work truck,crank broke. I have also heard from other friends that race with Ford 300's that have broken cranks,(& they were not making goobs of HP.
300's have a weaker crankshaft than a 200 or 250 Ford,they have been known to break(the 300's)
I have never heard of a 200 or 250 Ford crank break,but 300's I have heard & seen these cranks break. Period.
Just because you have not heard of these cranks breaking does not mean it does not happen.
My friend builds 300(Ford) Cylinder heads for race cars & trucks & during racing there 300 cranks broke.
That is the weak link in these engines,have not heard of any other weak items. Maybe you guys have?
