SCAT Enterprises, in Redondo Beach, California, has been producing forged crankshafts for over 40 years.
Owner Tom Lieb says that specialty products are a large part of his company's business. "Pontiacs were,
and still are, regarded as performance cars and hobbyists are making big power with them. We saw the
need for a high-quality forged crankshaft, and introduced ours about three years ago. It's not big volume,
but it's still a good bit of business."

Like other manufacturers, Lieb says that SCAT uses world-market material to produce its crankshafts.
"It's not by choice," he adds, "there just aren't any domestic steel sources or forging houses, so we source
the raw 4340-steel forgings overseas and finish them in-house." The company's Pontiac crankshafts are
presently available with only a 3-inch main-journal diameter. "We've found that 400ci blocks are most
popular simply because of availability and a stroker crank is an easy way to increase displacement and performance of it, but we plan to offer a 3.25-inch crank in the near future for those starting with large-journal blocks."

Stroke options are limited to 4, 4.25, and 4.5 inches-all with a 2.2-inch rod journal diameter, and are available in one of three distinct models. "Our Standard Weight unit includes knife-edged counterweights, and weighs around 75 pounds. Our Pro Comp unit is specifically machined to accurately position the counterweights for maximum balance of the entire rotating assembly, and weighs about 10 pounds less. Our Superlight unit is similar to the Pro Comp, but its counterweights are pendulum cut, shedding another five pounds, for a total of 15." Pricing starts at $799, $989, and $1,099, respectively.

Not limited to crankshafts, SCAT also offers its own forged-steel connecting rod. "Like our crankshaft, our H-beam rod is made of 4340-steel, and is forged overseas using a unique manufacturing process aimed at maximizing strength and consistency. All finishing is performed in-house. They also include ARP bolts, and are grouped into sets by weight and retail for $450."

Lieb says that his company's 6.7-inch long connecting rod with a 2.2-inch rod journal diameter is most popular. "It, along with Ross Racing pistons, is included in our complete rotating assembly kits, which start around $2,000. We also offer a stock-replacement H-beam rod in 6.625-inch length with a 2.249-inch rod journal for those using an original Pontiac crankshaft."
