The usuall...Internal Balance, forged Eagle crank and H beams....4bbl M1, 58 TB, ported Eddies flowing 300 @ .600, cam somewhere in the neighborhood of 242/248 576/600 @ 108, probably need custom pistons, the heads have been cut .035, shooting for 11:1 or so. Custom long tubes (2" primaries - 3.5 inch collectors- 3.5 inch pipes), CSR water pump...I'll hit it with a 150 shot for the fun runs, I just want a stout NA bracket motor with a little extra on tap so I can make up for a bad reaction time...

I'm leaving the short block build to the Kammer and Kammer guys, it's over my head...And the guy I bought the short block from is going to drop it off to those guys for a re-build. I'm just gonna write the checks

Don't mean to jack your thread, but during your build I found a good deal on the crank/rods/block...I've had but the everything but the 408...Now I do

 

sounds like a nice build!

you still have the valve lash chart?

 

There was a guys over on bionic that just lost his 408 to a broken forged Eagle crankshaft. Another guy commented that is not the first time he'd heard that about an Eagle crankshaft.

Eagle crankshafts are not thought of highly over there. Seems most of the cranks Eagle makes nowadays are cast or forged in China, with less quality control than there used to be.

 

Ouch!

 

I'd never touch a cast Eagle crank or their SIR rods...Their forged cranks, which I'll be using, will take way more than I'll throw at it.

 

aim said it was forged

 

Any news here?

 

news? about my build or the broken crank on bionic?

 

Pictures of broken Eagle cast cranks are all over Moparts.com, no one uses em anymore...Ot at least they only use em once...

Funny, the Mopar cast cranks are good, never heard of one of those snapping.

 

Yes, about your build.
