I wanted an engine with good street manners but also one that would work well with the low riser dual quad 427 intake which is a torque generator. KC recommended going with the SCAT crank and Chevy rods and felt it was a pretty much bullet proof combination. I think there was a warranty agenda there too - he felt more confident that it would have less chance of returning to his shop with new parts, than if we went with a used and reconditioned crank and rods. And I was a bit curious since I had not owned a stroked motor before but I had had experience with Ford modular motor cars (Lightning and Mustang GT) and was pretty surprised how well these long stroke motors ran.
