The crank in my GT is slightly scored and i just need my engine to hold together for a year or so (it has only very slight scores on the #2 Main journal on crank). So anyways, i have a great looking, non-scored 302 crankshaft laying around that's out of a '95 or '96 F150 and was wondering does that crankshaft have the same imbalance as the 302 HO engine, will i be able to use it in my car? It has like 30k miles on it and also has great bearings i could use (i pulled apart my GT's engine for other reasons and found my bearings worn from crud in the oil). Thanks,
