George C Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The new Formula Ford crank is a steel (cast, I think) version to the original standard design. It was introduced to put an end to Formulat Ford cranks needing to be crack tested every 1000 miles and often needing to be replaced. The Formula Ford rules were changed to allow the steel crank. This steel version is much stonger so will be more reliable and can also be reved much higher. They are good value at £ 500 to £ 600. The billet steel crank is the next step from there and is to a different design. These are stronger again, have better counter weighting, better lubrication and there are lots of other detailed options. Safe to over 8500 revs but everything else in the engine would need to be to a similar standard. But £ 1500ish just for the crank. If you are looking for higher revs with reliability it is worth it and the FF version is good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
