I have had NO luck finding out this info. I'm looking at a buddy's old setup. Crank was in a Merlin II block. Its a SCAT 4130 4.250' forged piece, internal balance.

I can't FOR THE LIFE OF ME....find out if these combo is a 2 piece rear main or not.

That's the bottom line question - is it going ot be a 1 piece or 2 piece rear main ??

I haven't found ANY info on World's site or any 'specific' info for the SCAT crank other than you can get both.

Thanks http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/smile.gif This COULD BE me xmas present(s) (oh....and a set of Eagle 6.385 rods).

OH PLEASE SANTA.....

The world blocks are the 2 piece design.

The rods in this 'deal' are Eagle SIR's....

Held up for a few (2) hi 9 sec passes....ought to be good for me once I go thru the pieces and make sure its all good.

I'm not looking to go that fast (yet)....but as long as I got a decent bottom end....I'll be happy http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/smile.gif

"Nominally" big....just right with the correct parts, that's all http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm gonna keep a running budget for this motor to pass along....and when I FINALLY get the car to the track...we'll see how she goes.... http://www.nastyz28.com/ubb/smile.gif
