Re: 84mm , I have a SCAT 84mm with chevy 2in x5.5 rods and they work well, BUT the cam is hard to clear on the SCAT counter weights, I had to have my big web cam cut on a smaller base of 1.045" and all fit well then. You can use a Bugpack crank and use a bigger cam bas circle. (Art Thraen) (30-Jul-2000 10:37:38)

Re: ALSO, You will need some very nice heads and a professional port job to make a big moter like this work well, Go big on the heads and cam. (Art Thraen) (30-Jul-2000 10:40:59)
