Which pin on the Scats??.

that would be press. i have not seen what the bushing metal make up on the scat is ? they do not say or i have not seen it??? .like i said for low miles there floaters are ok have no worry,s used many many of them you may have to call them ask what the bushing is ampco 18? i do not know. they are not saying .crowers do post what busing there using . for hi mile engine this is something you want to know . i realy feel we keep going around on this till i see it your way. i just can not see it your way. so i really do not feel like posting on this any more .not mad just abit tired of it .like i said it.s your build you should build it the way you want

Oh no Pat.Not at all.I wanted to see what part I needed.Sorry,I should have explained that better.I looked up the rods and they didn't say what to use.

In order to see the logic on press fit................all ya got to do is look at the OEM's out there with 200,000 miles on them or more.

scat numbers is press . crowers are floater but add a PF on crowers for press fit

I'll call Competition in the next couple of days about the Scats.

You know I starting thinking about revising the head/cam combo for more hp because 700R4 don't like towing in O/D.So if driving threw the PA hills,the engine would see a kick down from 3th.Well maybe it would.

So I go back to looking for maybe a 180cc intake runner head that I could cut back to a 67cc size.A little more top end and HP,but nothing beyond 5,000 rpm.Got any suggestions for like 50 more HP??.

Don't know, can't recomend somthing I haven't used. I know Camphor works and always get it at a drug store. May have to as some one there. Tower brand.

Charlie-do you remember what section in the drug store you got them from??.Soaps,air freshening or's etc??.

I asked the drugest

Charlie-I swear to god I have looked everywhere in Roch,NY and I can't find them.I guess I could buy them on line.Seems everyone here has Damp Rid in a container.

Pat-I questioned Jim and he said he has it covered as far as oiling it.I then bagged it in heavy mil plastic bag only poking the back of the bag with the engine stand bolts.Jim wanted me to store it in my living rm because the shop isn't heated all the time.Yeah-that isn't happening.

The crank checked out ok with some minor polishing.I have been dealing with some issues with my D.D'er and hope to have that wrapped up this week.So next is the rods and bearings.I wanted a parts cleaner for assemble too.So I have one lined up to buy tomorrow and want a "clean" new table top one also.

Some more pcs leading towards a short block.Stroker clearanced 5.7 3/8's ARP Scat rods:







Sorry guys-I tried twice with the pictures and no go.Well sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.Please just click on the links.Thanks.

i when i have put blocks.heads. cranks.cams in bags i first CRC or wd 40 the hell out of it rub it in them put in the bag spray the hell out of it again. blocks other parts that are hot tanked and need machine work i let them sit with out a bag and flood them with crc or wd40

Thinking of getting ARP main bearing bolts for this build.The 350 had a windage tray.Given it being a 1995 L31,I am thinking those bolts are single use.Comments??.

Needed to add this is a 4 bolt main block.

Also I have been looking at the marine EFI intake for this.Looks like it would work pretty well.
