    I Ferrari friends. I m in search of a replacement crankshaft for my car. Unfortunately it looks like we found mine is toast during the rebuild so I am hoping to find a second hand one in good condition before I decide to spend $11-12k on a new one.

    I have seen the ones on Ebay and they are non repairable as well.

    Any leads would be a huge help!

    Not that I rebuild engines regularly, but I search for parts often and I very rarely find engine parts on their own unless it was from a damaged engine. It's usually entire engines that were pulled from wrecked cars. There are few scenarios where a shop would want to part out an engine that doesn't result in questionable quality of parts. Can yours not be machined?

    I definitely hear this, since no engines are available for sale right now I am hoping to find just the part I need. Right now the machine shop I took it to says no, but I would be interested in finding one that might b up for trying to take it on if anyone knows one.

    If you want to try repairing it or are interested in price-shopping having a new one made, you might try contacting Moldex. They can fix/make just about anything.

    Man I'm just curious what happened to your crankshaft.?? Loss of oil pressure.?
    Not a common failure for these 430's at least from all I have read.
    Thanks.

    What could you possibly do to a 430 crankshaft that cannot be repaired? Sounds like time for another opinion.

    I agree with comments about finding a 430 crank on its own. Best to buy an entire engine and sell the leftovers.

    By the way, your profile is nearly blank. Makes it harder for people who want to help. Not really the thing you want to do.

    I'm really not understanding all these Ferrari engine failures that pop up on this site. I have been servicing these things for 30 years almost. I have maybe seen 4 or 5 total failures in that time.
    My question, are you 100% sure the car needed extensive engine work?
