318 stroker using Scat crank

Ok, so this is yet another 318 stroker combo thread, with a twist, as I thought it was a bit unique because I am now focused on a 3.58” Scat lightweight crank. I see it at Jegs for $378 (Link below). It appears about same price as a Mopar Performance crank, but claims lighter weight, holes in journals, etc. Any opinions on this matter? Is this not a better solution for quicker revs, etc?

My 318 stroker build would consist of this Scat crank, plus KB flat cast pistons with 1.658” CH, shaved down to 1.640”. This would also place these low surface-to-volume flat piston down in the bore about 0.40”, and still net me about 9.7:1 CR (66cc chamber). Perfecto!!! I get more stroke and volume to match my 360 heads (mildly ported with 1.88” valves) and DP Weiand intake & 600 carb. Cam is medium or so.

My goal?
Easy burnouts & low end torque & ultra low price.

But again, I really want to know more about that Scat crank, so opinions on all is welcome.
