I have priced some internals and am thinking of going blurbo for a project car. It's getting to be that time where i am ready to buy some parts for the motor. I have priced out some new Eagle rods for $380, SRP 9:1 pistons for $445. Assuming im only wanting in the 350hp range, would the stock crank be strong enough? Also, i've been told that i should just use the stock rod/main bearings from Honda. I will also be using a block gaurd. The motor will not be bored, only honed and hot tanked. I afraid if I make the cylinder walls any thinner i would have to have it re-sleeved, which im trying to avoid. Well enough rambling, would this setup be on the safe side, im looking to overbuild this motor for what hp i am wanting to run.

 

i think it will be safe and i dont think you have to re-sleeve it either

 

you wont do it

 

Where did you get quoted $380 for eagle rods, thats too much.

 

Eagle rods are fine to save you 60.00 on the rods go to automotive engineering in new port richey you can get them for 320.00 out the door and srp pistons you can get cp pistons shipped to your door for a few dollars cheaper 443.00 I'll get the shops name and email address for you they just sent me a return email telling me the price on the cp pistons for my setup I'll let you know don't go srp when you can go with the best for cheaper
