I agree, I have Scat I-beams in my motor as well, much stronger than the Eagles mainly due to the steel.
On the oil holes vs. no oil holes thing....My rods don't have them (obviously, they're Scat I-beams), and I've been beating on this motor since 2009. I just took the bottom end apart last weekend to inspect the bearings (while I was replacing my oil pan) and everything looks great. Just make sure you put the rods in the right way and you're good to go (they are directional).
