John, the crankshaft was based on the C1TE steel crankshaft. No center counterweights

No center counterweights?

We've been working on a new crank for some time. It is cast form nodular iron with enough material for 312 or 292 mains and 3.75" stroke. Got a sample last week.

Royce, been a while since I talked to John, probably a year or so. i knew about the cover, requires a shorter pan, but should be much easier on the cranks with a belt driver blower.

I think I erred on the rod journal   2 inch    They would clear with a little massaging  

Thanks Royce. It will be interesting to see what is needed to clear the cam with that much stroke.I cannot feature anyone more in the know than John or Ted.

Frank, you probably already know, but the engine in the pictures also have the new Mummert front cover that is shallower by almost an inch.The Boys in El Cajon  have been busy

Word from a couple guys in the know is Scat will be offering a cast crank with 3.7 stroke, 292 main, 2.1 rod journal .. My would guess it would be 4-500 dollars given what they get for their other stuff.

RB tell John I said wow. Nice work.
