I've used a good number of Eagle kits only once did I have a problem and that was they put the wrong length rods in the kit. Not once has one ever been out of balance or anything else. Still have to check them everytime just to be sure though.

Settle down tuff guy. I orginaly came here because I had someone ask me about building one of these 349's and it wasn't making any sense to me so signed up to read up on this build. Thankfuly after sitting him down and explaining real world price and hp numbers he went with a nice 360 with eddy...

I posted a reply to a specific question in the 349 build thread and it got deleted and I see the thread is now locked. For the record, my introduction into hotrods started with Mopars adn I still mess with them from time to time. When I got serious about racing and decided to dip into Pro mod...

Did the truth hurt someones feelings? Sorry if it ruffeld some feathers.

Hmm

A nice medium size solid or roller cam and a good single plain intake would wake your combo up.

So has anyone built one of these things yet? Post up some dyno numbers if you have.

In your orginal post you where talking about using a stock 360 crank and turning it down, not buying a one new. For another $300 more than what you quoted you can buy a brand new set of aluminum heads and not have a set of old reworked stock heads. Also aluminum heads help the motor run cooler...

How is it going to be stronger than a 360 when you're taking 360 parts and making it smaller? Turning the crank that much isn't a good idea. Run the motor for about 5000 mile and pull it apart and magnaflux the crank and the mains will probaly look like spiderwebs. Lets say you take a stock set...

We never had time to dyno the motor. The owner was in a hurry and wouldn't take an extra day to dyno it. As far as weight of the car I would guess some where around 3600 #s. I was just asking about to dyno to see if this motor would even come close to making the power your thinking it might...

7.80s in the 1/8 with street tires. motor is in a 68 charger with ac, ps , pb 3.55 gears. car was built for the power tour. If you ever get this motor built I would hope it's put on a engine dyno.

I just sat here and read this thread from start to finish. I must say I can't see any reasonable logic in building this 349 inch motor. $4,400 isn't cheap for a de-bored 360 with stock heads. Some people have the right idea on motor combos. I'm not in any way trying to dowm anyone's idea but I...
