SCAT 258 crank weight
Hi y'all!
Sorry if this has been posted before. I have seen approximate weights here and there, just not sure if I saw a definitive weight for the SCAT 258 crank.
I weighed it in my garage this morning. It's 48 lbs even.

Re: SCAT 258 crank weight
Sounds right if it has four counterweights.

Re: SCAT 258 crank weight
How much does the 12 counterweight crank weigh?

48lbs sounds about right.BcurpKodiak wrote:Hi y'all!

I know in Scat's box it's 51lbs when I'm shipping

Re: SCAT 258 crank weight
I'm surprised there is such a difference in the weights. That must be a noticeable difference in how it revs up when you blip the throttle I assume?

Re: SCAT 258 crank weight
If you look at them side by side it's obvious why the 12 cw crank weighs more.SkylinesSuck wrote:I'm surprised there is such a difference in the weights. That must be a noticeable difference in how it revs up when you blip the throttle I assume?
The acceleration difference isn't as great as it may seem, the "moment of inertia" is small, by cutting the inertia ring off of the front of the flywheel will get you faster acceleration than the weights of the crank, and the extra weight of the 12 cw crank also aids greatly in dampening the pulses so they are much smoother.
The only reason they removed the counterweights was to cut materials costs.
You can get more power out of ANY engine!!!

It's so small that the difference in acceleration is insignificant.IH 392 wrote: The acceleration difference isn't as great as it may seem, the "moment of inertia" is small

Re: SCAT 258 crank weight
The difference between the 12cw and 4cw crank is a grand total of 18-20lbs depending on hardware. The whole point of building a 258 or stroker with the 12cw crank is to make a quiet jobber. These are AMC engines, not the IH 392/462/554. Nobody does that anymore. These engines are outfitted purely for vehicles and the added production weight is counter-productive to an already aggressively large blueprint. Use the 4cw crank and make sure everything is properly balanced. It will not only last but will be fun the whole time.

Re: SCAT 258 crank weight
I've ran both the 4cw and 12cw in the same motor. I cannot discern a difference on rev speed with the heavy crank. The 12cw does run smoother above 3500rpms than the light one did and both cranks were balanced.. The heavy crank rocks the car pretty good upon revving though lol. I swapped out the 4cw crank in favor for the heavier one to try to help dampen harmonic vibes and it helped considerably in my setup.SkylinesSuck wrote:I'm surprised there is such a difference in the weights.
