not really but the ef crank is a little better but it does not matter if you do all the right things to your engine like nitrating the crank and rods after market rods and pistons blue print and balance the whole engine and do the head

Streeter I agree a properly treated & balanced crank is more important no matter which way you go. On a shoestring build like this one sounds like (practice build?) perhaps use the EA crank until you are ready to build a motor "properly" (as described in quote). |

The EF motors had 12 counterweights as opposed to the EL which had 8, so its slightly smoother.
Also, the EF motors had coils rather than distributor like the EL went back too..
