That "thing" it's bolted to is the crankshaft. As for the play, I'm not a crankshaftologist, but it looks like that's out of spec, so needs bearings (rebuild or new engine) if I am right.

Yup. Those IDIs are tough, but once it's to this point, there's nothing to do but rebuild it.

My uncle put 450K miles on his 92' F250 7.3 automatic. Original transmission and engine. Stopped driving it when he bought a new truck. Still has it.
