The key is when he says, comparable performance. That cam in a 427 would be fairly rowdy. In a 482 it would be an RV cam.

Well then you might just ease that stroke back to 4.125".  That's what I did and, remember, there are some really smart engine builders on this forum that swear shortening the stroke makes an FE "revvier." Brent ain't one of them, but they're out there....  |

I don't know of anyone that would pass a 4.250" to go for a 4.125" unless they were out of 4.250" cranks and Scat was backordered. Then they try to pass it off to the mass as a positive by saying, "Oh your engine will rev faster...."
Nonsense.

That connecting rod de-burred original crank has a crack.
No way.......
Now you have the perfect reason to go a big forged NEW rotating assembly!!

I can't understand the desire to spend $1100 on a forged crank for a 500-550 hp engine????
Got plenty of 700 hp/7000 rpm FEs out there with cast Scat cranks.

Doug just needs to get it fixed. That car has spent way too much time up on jack stands. Dang, I think it spent close to a year up on the lift of one of our local club members... maybe longer.  |

I have a lift in my garage now so I don't need to abuse one of the lifts of our club member. I do have his engine crane and cradle though
