Thats for sure. This is the biggest reason my lower is staying stock.
Sorry to hear. Do some searches this is not the first time.
Hopefully a new crank is all that you need. Good luck!
That's prob a good idea for me this go round lol
Something tells me it's not gonna be that easy , at least from what I'm seeing on these other threads .... yikes .
Yeah, I don't recall that either.
any pictures yet?
In for pics.
Updated with some pics... best I could get really ...
Damn that sucks. Never heard of this with the 2.3 just bigger blowers.

Did it snap during a shift or just while under heavy load or?

It was on the dyno being tuned . He said he was at 5k RPMS on one of the pulls and the car shut off ; he said he didn't know what happened & went and looked and saw the belt off and crank pulley hanging there...
I feel bad for you man, but, the engineers at Ford knew what they were up against when they went with supercharging these cars. I cringe every time I see a setup like yours.
Blowers put an additional strain on the crank snouts, especially with their length, thus the need for a support system. I hope you get it sorted out and have learned a valuable lesson. Good luck.

For those surprised at this happening, this is the unfortunate risk of running an uncaged lower pulley. While increased stress from larger blowers definitely contribute to this happening, NO smaller blower is immune from the risk of this happending. This has happened with guys running Eatons before, and on several occasions. Some people run uncaged lower pullies for years without an issue. Others, such as the OP, aren't as lucky.
