Crank, rods, pistons. SCAT. Price. Quality.

Fox Body · 10-13-2002, 10:02 AM

Is this worth the money? To go in the 351W block that I have at the engine builder:

Prices quoted by SCAT Crankshafts:

Forged Rods --- $320
Forged Crank --- $690
Forge Pistons --- $500
Rings --- $90
Bearings --- $150
harmonic balancer & flywheel balanced to crank --- $150
money for S&H to get harmonic balancer & flywheel to SCAT in CA --- not really sure, but gotta be over $150
-------------------------
Total = $1900 not including shipping (both ways I suppose)

I figure these are good prices, but then I'd have to send stuff to them and it'd cost more on S&H.

As of now, I plan to put on some AFR 185s on it. Compression to be around 8.5 - 8.8:1.
Still gotta spend money for cam and the goodies that go with it...

One other thing, what do you guys know of the quality of SCAT's products b/c all of the stuff will be coming from them (minus the heads and cam).

I would like some input on this. Thanks.

You could have stuff sent direct to engine builder. Fed Ex now has Fed Ex freight they bought out american freightways.
I've heard that SCAT makes some pretty good stuff. I've never dealt with them so I don't know how accurate those prices are.
