"We Built A Few Of These By Special Request For A Couple Of Local Street Racers And The Results Were So Incredible (And Profitable For Them) That We Decided To Offer It To Everyone Just To Be Fair. Available With Plain Valve Covers And Heads With No Visible Markings For Those That Need To Keep It Under Wraps. Or Just Leave It "As Is" and Shout It Out To The World!"


700 @ 6500 RPM
590 @ 5000 RPM
4.155 x 4.000
10.95 to 1
93 Octane


Dart Little "M" Block w/4 Bolt Splayed Caps
Scat 4340 4.000" Stroke Steel Crank
Scat 4340 6.000" H-Beam Steel Rods
Clevite 77 "H" Series Main & Rod Bearings
Diamond Custom 10.95-1 Forged Aluminum Pistons
043/043/3MM Total Seal Plasma Moly Ring Set
SSRE/Comp Cams Custom "Street Roller" Camshaft
Comp Cams Solid Roller Lifters
Cloyes Billet True Roller Timing Set w/Torrington Bearing
AFR 245 "NPP" Fully CNC Ported Aluminum Heads
PAC Racing 1.550" Roller Springs

I thought I would post this new crate motor because I've been ordering parts for this engine separately. Im now considering sending all of the parts to Shafiroff and let them put it together. They also just came out with a pump gas BBC 598 crate with SR20 heads and a hyd roller cam with 1000hp.

It says Scat 4.00" steel crank. Is that forged or cast?

It's all forged but for $395 you can upgrade to Manley forged components. I have one engine from these guys, (SBC 427) and am happy with it. Thinking about a 434 for my 68 Coupe.

A little over $15,000 with the carb and Manley crank and rod upgrade. Nice, AFR heads and TD shaft rockers. Solid component list.

Nice to see a crate with all the parts listed...and all the right parts

I might nit-pick a few on personal preference, but nothing there that raises any flags. Not cheap, but nothing in that power range is.

That head requires on offset lifter. An .842" diameter lifter with a .150/.180" offset is going to have a short life. To ensure that engine has some longevity it needs .903" lifters in it.
