Title: SCAT Engine kits Post by: Jesse/DVK on January 08, 2008, 10:13:29 am Guys,
Next season I want to have a bigger motor in my '64. Because this will be my first motor-build I want to play safe and go for a proven combo like an 1776/1915 or 1679. In the webshop of a dutch shop they sell these SCAT engine kits, for 700 euros you get a lot of stuff. Crank, rods, piston & cilinders, cam, lifters, push rods, oil pump and some little stuf like gaskets etc. What are your opinions about these kits? The crank is a cast one, will that be a problem? Thanks!

Title: Re: SCAT Engine kits Post by: Diederick/DVK on January 08, 2008, 23:08:34 pm go for it jesse!
it's not a lot of money, and perhaps you can upgrade the crank. it's pretty cool to see it's a kit with a lot of parts in it already :) Title: Re: SCAT Engine kits Post by: Bewitched666 on January 09, 2008, 08:24:14 am Like Richie said depends for what the use of the engine will be but nothing wrong with that crank.
I have run several c/w cranks that where welded with no problems at all,even dragraced with them. Jesse i would go for the package if your budget will allow it. 8) Title: Re: SCAT Engine kits Post by: Jesse/DVK on January 09, 2008, 17:44:10 pm Thanks for the replies guys, I will contact Kaag to see if an upgrade to a forged crank is possible. I want to use the motor as a weekend cruiser/racer and some drags at EBI or DDD.
