A Golen Engine 383-cube Gen-II LT1 built for the street was featured on Chevy Hardcore! This build is running a SCAT Crankshafts 9000 series steel 3.750-inch-stroke crankshaft and a set of 6.000-inch forged 4340 I-beam rods, which were upgraded with ARP rod bolts.
Despite the popularity of the Gen 1 SBC, LS platform and the direct-injected LT1 platform, Golen Engine is still working hard on their classic Gen-II LT1 builds for their customers (and we don’t blame them). For quite some time, they’ve offered a ready-to-go 383-cube street-oriented budget LT1 package (that runs SCAT Crankshafts parts).
Take a look at this recent 383ci LT1 build on the dyno:

SCAT Enterprises will be at the upcoming AERA Tech & Skills Regional Conference at Liberty Engine Parts in Pennsauken, New Jersey, on Saturday, September 14! You don’t need to be an AERA member to attend this conference, and all shops are welcome to attend. All attendees will receive a free Failure Analysis Manual as well as door prizes from several vendors.
SCAT’s very own Tom Lieb will be leading one of the technical sessions. Tom will explore a little of SCAT’s history, SCAT’s role in the evolution of LS, Ford Modular and Modern Hemi cranks and rods for the aftermarket, and current trends in those markets. He will also be sharing, “the world according to Tom.”
Other speakers will include Ted “Bud” Keating of Dart Machinery, Chris Straub of Straub Technologies, Trey McFarland of Race Winning Brands, and Steve Fox of AERA.

Tim Moreland of Graham, Texas, shared his ’66 Chevy C10 Pickup that has Procar by SCAT seats (and material) AND a SCAT Crankshafts crank!
From Tim:
“I sure love my Procar seats. I built my own console, and I called the guys at Procar and they sold me the material to match my seats and enough to do the door panels also. The price of the seats and material was very reasonable. Thank you, Procar!”
His Procar by SCAT seats are the Pro 90 Lowback seats, and the crank he’s running is a 9000 series.
Procar by SCAT Pro-90 Lowback seats were recently used in Four Wheeler’s Week to Wheelin Bronco build! This build was completely made from the ground up — nothing like this build was even in existence — and we were ecstatic to be a part of it.
Take a look at some photos of the seats before and after they were in the build, as well as the final product:
Representatives from SCAT Enterprises will be there to showcase our variety of products and answer any questions. There will also be a variety of prize drawings, including a Procar by SCAT gift certificate to be used toward a Pro-90 seat.
This car show will be taking place at Original Parts Group’s Seal Beach, CA, location: 1770 Saturn Way.
‘We used a Dart block and did all of our normal machining to it – square checking, boring, a torque plate hone, and a line hone,’ Zach Smith, owner of ZSR Engines, says. ‘For the rotating assembly, we got custom, dome pistons from RaceTec. We used Molnar 6.250″ H-beam rods, a SCAT 4.100″ stroke crankshaft and a Bullet camshaft. We also used a ring set from MAHLE that has 1mm top and second rings and a 2mm oil ring. The engine also has Clevite-coated bearings.
This build made 2 horsepower per cubic inch on the dyno! It made 876 hp at 7,700 rpm and 640 ft.-lbs of torque at 6,800 rpm.

Read more about the details of our new crankshaft:
Forged from 4340 steel, the cranks are precision-ground, heat-treated, and nitride-hardened for super wear resistance. They’re rough-balanced to 1,800 grams (within +/- 2 percent), and feature large journal radiuses. Their innovative oiling holes increase the amount of oil going from the mains to rod bearings, and eliminate burnt bearings.
This is available in multiple configurations:
