crankshaft keys for keyway?

[wrench87]

where do you buy the keys for the crankshaft?, when i received my rotating assbly they did not come with it. this is my first fe so i am unsure what i need.

wrench 87 Lowes has all the sizes you need for the crank. look in hardware Rick L.

For a stroker FE, Scat I assume, the woodruff keys are standard SBC size and the balancer key is 1/4" x 1/4" x 3/4" bar stock. any machine shop can provide that one.

yes it is for a scat steel crankshaft 4.250, i was surprised i did not get it with the rotating assbly, i got one with my eagle crank for my 342.

hope this doesnt sound like a stupid question, but does the bar stock run the length of the cut out on the crankshaft?

The keystock only needs to be as long as the slot in the damper. The Scat does indeed use normal Chevy keys - I buy 'em by the hundred - if you can't find 'em local just call/e-mail and I'll toss a couple in the mail...
