While building my 1964 427 FE, the Speed O Motive found a crack in the crankshaft collar, I need a replacement as soon as possible.

It's hard to beleive SOM didn't have one laying around! Someone probably went after yours with a pipe wrench (like they did on mine), 'cuz they just don't go bad on their own. $20 is a deal......

I've depleated my stock of those suckers and starting to repair the junk ones. Seal grooves, rust, pipe wrench gouges and sloppy keyways don't make for a good sleeve. Anyone reproducing them?

I have no idea, as I tend to shy away from using plumbing tools on vehicles :confused: As best as I can tell, it's a redneck way to rotate the crank.
I've heard there are aluminum spacers being made, but haven't actually seen one yet.

It's not like I'm going to keep bringing these dinosaurs back to life, ya know. Of course I've said that before, and 2 of 5 engines around here are FE's. Well, the good news is, at least they're not Chevys.....:D
