1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Scat Cast Steel Crank

Although it isn't a forging, the Scat cast-steel crank is substantially stronger than a production cast crank, and has been proven in performance street and race applications. Notice the filet radius at the journals, net-shape counterweights, and nicely detailed oil holes. The Scat assembly is close enough in balance to assemble at home as-is, but we had the guys at B&T Performance (Pomona, CA) balance ours to our specific flexplate and balancer.
