I've got Eagle in my 600hp junk and no complaints :D[/QUOTE
Forgive me for being to young but what is the with the junk references ? :newb:
What CI ?
I was referring to my junkie Eagle crank, t'was a joke. It's forged and all good. I too heard some eagle cast cranks came apart, but I don't know the circumstances. Maybe they sprayed the crap out of it before already running close to max HP level suggested for the cast crank, which to save a few bucks would be silly.
Save your pennies and put together a stout forged bottom end wether stroked or not, then build it up from there. You can do a couple seasons with smaller hydraulic flat tappit cam and cheap heads, then as you save up build/buy better heads and run a cam that with make use of the better breathing heads. The stout bottom end could last through multiple incarnations of the same motor. Good luck and enjoy the addiction!
