Stroker Tank Tops

C-T Automotive was started in 1951 in Sherman Oaks, California by Don Clark and Clem Tebo (C & T) and followed the old hot rod mantra of “There’s no replacement for displacement.” Their specialty was the manufacturing of stroker kits which increased an engine's displacement by lengthening the stroke of the piston. The journals along the crankshaft are lengthened by a given distance depending on the severity of the stroke enlargement and an increase in the height of the journal makes for double that increase in stroke length. All told, stroked engines can make big power, often without having to machine the block, and C-T Automotive not only knew this, but perfected the formula to get a reliable, high-horsepower stroker that was streetable.

Speed-O-Motive got their start manufacturing custom pistons for flathead racing engines, but eventually began distributing speed parts and offering high-performance engine rebuild kits for pretty much every V8 application out there. If you couldn't swing by their Los Angeles area shop, you could mail order your parts, even complete engines after they begin offering turn key balanced and blueprinted crate racing engines. These crate strokers all ran Speed-O-Motive racing pistons, and the rest of the build leveraged top shelf goodies from other manufacturers.

The only way to get big stroke in the early decades of hot rodding was taking an existing crank, building up the journals through welding, and then machine finishing it, and that is what Alex Alexander had a knack for. As a welder, machinist, and avid hot rodder, Alex started making his own welded strokers in the '50s. As orders stacked up from word of mouth, he eventually had to admit that he had a business and formalized his operation as the less than creatively named 'Crankshaft Company' in 1965. From mild to wild, Crankshaft Company could build it and build it right, whether it was a street driven small block or a top fuel big block, the originator of the welded stroker could be counted on to go the distance.

C&T Automotive was started in 1951 in Sherman Oaks, California by Don Clark and Clem Tebo, hence the C and the T in the name. While they did a little bit of everything as far as making parts for racing engines, turning out competition grade stroker crankshafts was their bread and butter. Whether you were drag racing, burning up the dirt oval, or swapping paint on the stock car circuit, there was a good stretch there when it was safe to say that the fastest guys were running C&T crankshafts.
