Guys,

I am building my 393C stroker with a 3.85 Stroke Scat crank and found out the the snout is a Windsor snout that needs a spacer (not as big deal, of the shelf Ford Motorsport part) but it also has a .005 smaller dia snot for the timing gear.

Has anyone encountered this?? Looking for an off the shelf part.

Need to get this together this week.

Someone on this list (7D Mach1?) had the snout knurled and used a standard Cleveland gear.
I also heard from a guy that SCAT sold him a timing set that used the Windsor lower gear.

One nice thing about the Fontan block is that it takes a 351W timing set so the SCAT crank with spacer should work for me... if SCAT ever gets the raw forgings in house.

Where are you reading this?? I have not found anything that describes it. The 351W centerline distance is different and both gears are different # of teeth. Not sure this can be accomplished.

SCAT did not tell me what to do about this, they directed me to call Motorsport and see if they have a timing kit to go with the spacer. They did not. The problem I see is the lower gear for both have a difference of 3 teeth (W-21/C-18).

Dodestang,

Seems like there was no resolution tot he links there. The same things have been thrown out that I was already thinking.

Sorry thought it may have helped.

I have a scat crank in my stroker (408) and just used the ford motorsport standard crank spacer and a cloyes double roller...I didn't run into any fitment problems on the snout.....but I also built the motor to be a sub 7k motor.

The simple answer that I came up with was to wrap a strip of shim stock .0025 around the crank and tap the gear in place. A long feeler gage .0025 will work also. Its not a press fit by any means but its better than the alternative of having the gear moveing around.

The only answers I found are to knurl the crank snout, hard-chrome the timing gear (or crank snout) or find someone to custom make a timing gear set.

My fist preference is a correct timing gear set, but cloyes won't do it.

Not sure how robust the hard-chroming is, how long will it hold up?

A racing shop by my house (Livernois Motorsports) Recommended the knurling of the crank end (Cost $30).
