htboyle Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Does any one know of a source for a 1953 crank for a standard shift low oil pressure engine? I had two Babbitt rods disintegrate and ruined the crank. I know I can get a set of rods with insert bearings. Or should I just get a full lubricated 235? Help!

Bloo Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I had one of those low pressure stickshift 53s, and it did well by me. Technically high pressure is a lot better, but If I still owned that car I would not be looking to change it. For what it's worth, Powerglide cars had low pressure 235s from whenever Powerglide was introduced (50 maybe?) through 1952. I don't know for sure if that is the same crank, but it probably is. I'd ask over on https://vccachat.org/ . Somebody might have one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
