Here is the SCAT crankshaft that arrived with the motor. The
SCAT goes back to the original owner.

The motor arrived set up for dry sump. We are going to go back
to wet sump. Here I'm fitting a Stef's oil pan.
|

The rear main caps interfere.
|

There is no interference at the front.
|

|

The old dry sump oil pan also had clearance issues.

Test fit of a Titan gerotor oil pump.

Sonny Bryant crankshaft arrived.
|

|

4.000" stroke, (the crank has large SBC400 main journal sizes)
|

|

The head stud kit is standard 7/16"
|

Some of the bores are out of round and with a great amount of taper.
|

The cylinders will need to be bored and honed.
I have a rough mesurment of 4.165" bore. The crankshaft
is 4.000" stroke and using a spare 6" rod with 1.125"
compression height piston as a gauge I get 9.125" block deck
height
|

Just a quick photo of the SCAT crank storage rust.
|

A few photos of the SCAT crank just prior to removal.
|

This Donovan 400 block has SBC 400 mains and so the previous owner
used inserts under the main bearings to fit a SBC SCAT crankshaft
with 350 mains.
|

SCAT crank is now in a Callies box and will be shipped to the
original owner.
