I managed to misspell stroker and use the word intellect in the same
sentence, gotta love Mondays.

Speaking of stroker combinations (always fun I say) who knows what parts can
go with what and make stroker combinations. I've never seen a put this with
that get this list (A+M=X??) anywhere for AMC engines. Who here knows this
info?? 290 crank in a 401 anyone?? I'm very excited to see what's been or
can be done.

Brien,

I have posted many times about these.  They are a 5.885 length 
bushed
for floating pins.  They are good for 8,00 rpm and 800 hp which is 
far
more than a cast rod would go and even more than our stock 
forged 401
are good for.  These would be really nice to add to a 390 or 401 
crank
in a 360 block.  I am working on a 360 stroker combination that 
will
be somewhere in the 391-396 ci range. 

Now for the bad news, Scat screwed this project up royally and 
now
after promising to make it right price wise, is going back on their word.
They were suppose to ship all of them at once but only sent 
a
few sets at a time.  Originally there were going to be 4340 I-beam rods for
pressed pins and be finished last June.  After months of delays, they then
said they got H-beam cores by mistake but 
would
honor the agreement.  After waiting even longer for them to finish 
the
rods, they bushed every set instead of making them for pressed 
pins
with only 10 sets bushed for floaters.  Since they finished them 
and
sent out the first few sets , they decided they wanted to make up 
the
money for their mistakes so they said they would not ship the rest until
they renegotiated the price.  What does that mean to you?  
Well,
if you were one of the guys who prepaid me for sets, you got a screaming
deal.  Those who bought them up to about a couple 
weeks ago,
got them around the price you saw which was still a great deal on 
that
rod set up.  The price now is upwards of $450 a set.

=========================


Ah Huh,  well $450.00 is too rich for my blood - especially
as they're on eBay for $399.00

Too bad SCAT is not covering their word - 
but for that money - I'll find a 401 crank & rods for the 360 and still have
cash left over.
