scat makes good parts, I used their forged stroker crank and H beam rods.
they're good for up to 1000hp at least

bad choice on that shortblock, the boss block has serious issues with the cylinder skirt being too short using a 3.400 crank and a probe piston. The scat rotating and probe piston are great, but not in that block. Word is warranty claims hover in the 30% range
