hey, has anyone used or heard of how good Eagle products are as far as high performance and quality go? Mainly their cranks and connecting rods.

 

Thanks for the help Scott. I just checked on the Scat cranks and they look pretty good. I was told that their standard weight 4340 forged crank would withstand about a 1,000 to 1,200 hp while their pro comp lightweight profiled woudl only withstand about 900. Do you know anything about these 2? I am plannin' on puttin' a blower on the 454 when it's done so I'm lookin' for about 800-900 hp when it's done (hopefully) but here's the site if ya wanna check em' out and give me your opinion. Thanks again!

oh by the way, the 2 I'm lookin' at are #'s 4-454-4000-6135 and 4-454-4000-6135-2

 

We've used plenty of Eagle stuff in the past in both Ford and Chevrolet and haven't had any problems yet. We've got a BBC here at the shop right now with an Eagle crank in it and 2 stages of NOS. 5.50's in the 1/8 with 10.5in tires and stock suspension. No crank problems yet.

 

I have Eagle parts in my current motor and my spare and I am very happy with both. Eagle products seem to be both good quality and reasonably priced. I certainly don't have the money for the high dollar parts like Oliver. I feel the most important thing which helps an engine live is the machine work. I had a motor with stock rods, cast crank and 2 bolt mains live forever at >7000.
