Go to Scat's facebook page to like and share, to show the appreciation. Sales figures will be the ultimate determining factor, but that is a good way to start. https://www.facebook.com/SCATENTERPRISES/photos/a.228437667237339.55579.219346424813130/919020878179011/?type=3

That's great news! Maybe finally our favorite engine will finally see some love from the aftermarket.

Unless I’m mistaken, John’s kits use fifty plus year old factory crankshafts which are offset ground to obtain the additional stroke. With the original 312 cranks becoming much harder to come by, a new supply of them with the 292 mains and 292 rear seal area already on them will alleviate this situation. Kudos to Gary for going to the SEMA show and getting the details on this. While I'd love to see the stroker crankshafts from the git go, I do understand the mentality of introducing a 3.44" stroke crankshaft first that will take factory rods and bearings.

Doesn't Mummert already offer some stroker kits?
Y's guys rule! Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

I went to the SEMA show in Las Vegas last week and Scat Crankshaft Company had sales brochures on new crankshafts for the 312 engine. It will have the standard 312 stroke, but will have the 292 main bearing size. On the brochure it says that these are standard weight forged crankshafts for Ford Y-Block coming in April 2016. I just wonder if there was a misprint in the brochure where it says it's a forged crank. I talked to one of the representatives about stroker cranks and he said that they were just starting with the standard stroke 312, but with 292 main bearing size and the stroker cranks, if they made them, will come out later. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
