Forged crank and balancer for 306
What crankshaft and balancer would you recommend?
I tend towards the Scat 43021 http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...3021/overview/ -Simon |
I would use a forged crank, but honestly, any crank you use will probably out live the block at almost 600 hp. They split in half at lower levels than that.

Did you ever see a Dart split Brent? I just don't know. |
No, but I assumed he was using factory block.

I think a forged crank might be cheap insurance for even such a relatively mild engine, considering the effects of a crank breaking at a 4500rpm launch with nitrous.
Also the bottom end would be ready for some higher revs if I ever feel the need to go to a solid roller in the future. So what brand can be recommended? I used Scat I-beam rods in the past and was very pleased with the quality. |
I would go with a Scat forged crank and Scat I-beam rods.

If I were building this engine for the application he was intending, I would internally balance it.
However, in his case, it would depend on several things...if he already has a balancer and flywheel, how light his pistons and rods are, and if he had the budget to internally balance. |
+1 for internally AKA 0 balance - Scat or Eagle Forged and nice Hbeam Rods
this should get you to 400hp. Steve |
Hasn't the jury come out in favour of Scat forged cranks over Eagle?
If it's a Scat crank, which the OP favours, do Scat do a neutral/zero balance 3" stroke forged crank? Cheers, Glen |
Yes, the jury is absolutely out....
And yes, Scat offers a 3" stroke crank that will internally balance. |
