I purchased a kit and am trying to make sure I did it right. I'm not quite ready to panic, but want to make sure its right before I take the parts to the machine shop and make them unreturnable.
The packing list from scat tells me to unpack everything and check it with what I ordered to make sure it is right. In the process of doing just that, I may have found an error, but am not sure I'm reading it right.
I ordered a stroker kit for a 351W to go to 408. I ordered a 28oz imbalance, 28oz imbalance flywheel, and 28oz imbalance damper.
When I got the kit from Scat, it has crank # 9-251-400-6200-2100W. When I go to scat's website (
click here, click on Ford, Crankshafts, Cast Series 9000, scroll down, 6th from the bottom) it lists this crank as "Neutral Bal Int".
Can I use this neutral balance interanl crank with my 28oz flywheel and 28oz damper?
If I click on Rotating Assemblies, Small Block 351, then scroll down to the kit I ordered (part 1-94306 - Inclcrprb - does this mean includes crank, rods, pistons, rings, bearings?), it doesn't list this kit as internal or external, but the column header for Compl (complete kit?) shows 1-94306BE. I think that means balanced externally.
So, what is the difference between a bare crank that is internal balanced, and a kit that uses that crank that has an external balance if used in the complete kit? What is in the complete kit that is not in the kit I received?
