Default Cheapest 4" stroke crank???

If you have a link for a non-site sponsor, PM me with it. I've found one site that has a Scat "style" crank for $699 and was wondering what anyone else has seen or paid. That's the cheapest non-forged crank I've seen for these engines... sucks compared to the budget $189 knife edged 383 crank I built a couple of years ago... I knew it would be more expensive, but dang!!!

What do you mean by Scat "style"? Is it a Scat crank or not? I think Eagle's are cheaper than the Scats. Also are you saying that this is a 4" stroke crank that is cast NOT forged?!?

It's nodular iron, not forged. Not sure what they mean by Scat "style". Here's the description:

No way in hell I would pay that much and not have a forged crank, you can get and Eagle FORGED crank for 100 bucks more.

I understand totally. With their price being about 50 bucks lower than what I've found a forged one for, I won't be going cast. Thought I could at least find a cast one for around 3 hundred or so (at least half the price of forged), but no dice.

yea, I had considered that route too, a non-forged.. Seeing as how I wont be making enough to break one, but theres no low-cost cranks out there for our motors really.
