Ford 351C 4340 Forged Crank 3.500 Stroke

The Ford 351C 4340 Forged Crank 3.500 Stroke is a premium crankshaft engineered for enthusiasts and professional engine builders seeking reliable high-performance power in Ford Cleveland and modified engine platforms. This SCAT ENTERPRISES component serves as the critical rotating assembly centerpiece for engines demanding durability under elevated boost, nitrous, or naturally aspirated performance conditions. Whether you're building a street performer, weekend track car, or vintage racing engine, this forged crank delivers the strength and precision required to handle aggressive power levels while maintaining OEM-style installation compatibility.

Forged from premium 4340 steel, this crankshaft offers substantially greater fatigue resistance and tensile strength compared to cast alternatives, making it the choice for engines operating above stock parameters. The 3.500-inch stroke geometry delivers the displacement and low-end torque characteristics critical for drivability and responsiveness across the RPM band. Designed for external balance applications, it integrates seamlessly with properly weighted flywheels and balancers, while the 1 or 2-piece rear seal compatibility ensures straightforward installation into both original and modified engine blocks. SCAT's precision manufacturing and quality control ensure tight tolerances and consistent journal diameters for reliable bearing fit and minimal clearance variation.

Engine builders, restoration specialists, and performance shops rely on this crank for reliable service in Ford 351C and Cleveland-derivative engine builds targeting increased displacement and performance potential. Installation requires proper balancing of the complete rotating assembly and verification of bearing clearances to factory specifications. At 61 pounds, it matches the inertia characteristics of comparable OEM cranks, simplifying the balancing process and maintaining appropriate flywheel selection. This crankshaft is the foundation component for any serious Cleveland-based power project.
