how much weight (if any) can be taken out of the crank before it would not be suitable for street use?

 

why would you remove weight from your crank? the crank weight approximatly 72 pounds.

 

i noticed that the 4in stroker crank for a 351C from Scat weighs 50 pounds. Since it uses chevy rod journals, custom rods would be required (thanks FTE for this info). So wondered if some weight couldn't be taken out of the factory crank to get the weight down to close to the scat crank.

 

anything is possible...but its not always feasible...IMO not worth it

 

i suspected it would neither be easy or cheap. But was curious about how far one could go...

thanks for your help.
