The local CL has a guy selling both a Scat forged 4340 stroker crank and 4340 Eagle 5.7 rods. I'm trying to verify that these parts will work in my LT1. The crank I'm finding is listed as a SBC 1 piece rear main. This should work in my LT1 I believe but I can't find a listing saying it will. The rods I'm actually having a hard time matching the part number exactly. I'm also finding very similar rod number saying they are for 2 piece rear main seal engines. I had no idea the rods were affected by what rear main seal the block was. Can anyone clear this up for me and verify if the parts will work in my LT1? Part # off the boxes Scat 435050L Eagle CRS5700S Thanks
The LT-1 should be 2 piece seal, the lt1 if i remember right it 1 piece. LT-1 was early 1970 camaros and vettes, lt1 was mid 1990s
Is this a late model LT1? That was a one piece RMS but I'm not sure of the the weights/balance. May try shooting the tech guys at Scat an email.
My LT1 is a Gen 2 SBC. LT-1 are the vintage, solid lifter gen 1 SBC motors. I believe the new C7 motors are designated LT1 without the hyphen, too. As if there's not enough confusion already.
Found out that the crank does indeed work with the LT1. Also, that's an old part number for the rods as they are old rods. Look to be from back before the internet was big actually. No worries. Metal doesn't go bad when stored properly. They are indeed new, never installed and are 4340 forged. The Eagle rep said they have been replaced by part number CRS5700S3D
