1939-53 Flathead Ford Rotating Assembly, 286 C.I.

Is this compatible with the Isky Max-1 cam 249 duration, or should a different cam be used? Use is general street use, not racing. My rebuild is including the Stainless valve kit (single spring), Isky Max-1 cam (currently), standard flow oil pump. Looking at this crank due to the 4" stroke being on backorder.

When this assembly is fitted with Edelbrock heads, should the 65cc or the 74cc chambers be chosen for reliable road use? Thankk you for your help.

Are the rod bearings "full floating" as in stock 39 to 48 flathead? Is any block or pan mod needed to clear the 4.125" stroke. This engine is going into a 1941 Ford which uses a crank mounted fan. Will this crank accept the '41 crank pulley with the fan attached? About two years ago there were some complaints about SCAT cranks being delivered way out of balance. This kit is advertised as balanced rotating assembly. Is it? And if so to what specifications for pistons, rods, crank? Does the SCAT crank have the trash collecting galleys that stock cranks have? Important because I will not be using an oil filter. What is the lead time for delivery?

Hi! I am rebuilding a 1933 Ford Four Door with a 21 stud flathead. It should be from 1935 or 1936 water pumps mounted in the heads. Is this kit also for my engine avaible? thanks Bernhard
