I sure Paul thought you might know the Cat and RPM are not of the quality that we might expect from someone selling parts that require a very small tolerance in a finished product. I think you will find that going with Adney, Scat or better, your $ will be better spent, even if it is at higher initial price. The good thing about this site is there are a lot of helpful people, and a lot of vendors that can set up with with proven parts, that wont require a lot of work after you receive it.



Welcome to the site. Hang around, you will fiqure out the many personalities that lurk here.

Adney Brown (Performance Crank) is a good source for reasonably priced well finished off shore cranks. He does the finish work himself and will get you the proper tolerances and finishes needed for a performance application.

i am building a 598 bbf, power glide trans and a nine inch for a 89 fox body mustang with the goal of running outlaw limited street in mi next spring. I have been collecting parts for a while now as money permits. today i bought my crank, rods from performance crankshaft. i have almost all of the parts to assemble the engine except pistons and a cam. i am going to contact charlie evans and see what he recommends in that department.

I think I answered that question. I had posted that Star Galaxy parts are much the same level as C.A.T. and RPM engine parts and that some of the parts offered by these three companies even come from a single source manufacturer. Not sure why that was deleted; they are your everyday run-of-the-mill offshore engine parts.

There are engine combinations where I might use a run-of-the-mill offshore crankshaft; not sure that includes a 598 though. If you can afford to build a 598, hopefully you can afford to build it right.
