318 Poly Stroker Crank & Rods
Hi all,
I've got a fully rebuilt 318 poly in my Satellite which I want to stroke. I had originally planned to go this route with the help of Gary Pavlovich but in the end stayed with a stock stroke. I would like the extra torque of the stroker plus I can paint my engine bay body color when I pull the engine.
I'm planning on using a 3.58" crank rather than the 4", as this will work with my existing camshaft (264/.450” ([email protected]”) 110LC Solid Camshaft) and will be less stress on the engine. I also understand I can use 318 LA pistons with this crank with fly-cutting one intake valve relief, rather than custom pistons with the 4" crank.
Two questions:
1. Scat Cast Crank Series 9000 Cast Stroker Lightweight Crankshaft or Scat Forged Crankshaft? It's only a street cruiser with less than 400 hp goal so I'm thinking cast would be sufficient (it's half the price of the forged)?
2. Scat Rods - 2-ICR6123-2124 Pro Comp I Beam - would these be a good choice?
Any advice from anyone that's done this previously would be appreciated. I'm in Australia and although 318 LA engines are fairly common here not many people are familiar with the poly and I can't afford to make the wrong parts choices.
Thanks
