Brian, would that crankshaft have been a better fit in an earlier babbitted mains 21 stud, 221ci block? I know in the past those stroker crankshafts were special order from Scat, maybe made only as needed, and this one was incorrectly machined.
I have also thought about building a higher performance 21 stud engine, maybe using a special Merc 4" crank machined to fit, or possibly placing an order for one with Scat.
Let us know how this plays out for you with Scat.
