Crankshaft choice

[Don W.]

Given that I have 2 crankshafts, one stock and one Scatt, both std. which one do I use? The only difference is the Scatt is balanced to my reciprocating pieces.

As always thoughts appreciated...

Not sure about the the V-6 crank,but I have seen SBC V-8 Scat cranks & they had larger radius's, which is stronger,need to use chamfered bearings also .cost a bit more than std bearings.


If it has larger radius's, for sure use the scat,& for the most part,Scat products are better than stock GM cranks & rods.:2cents:

I'd use the Scat either way...its already balanced to your setup...

the price of heavy metals is up right now (the weights used to balance a shaft) you don't want to have a shaft balanced it will be costly if it needs much weight added. Go Skat.

Go scat, nitride it, then cryo it(or vise versa). not sure which one goes first but we could use all the help we can get with these motors.

Thanks. I feel like I need to look into the forged vis cast thing a bit more.

Thanks all for the replies.
