383 Stroker build

Absolutely no way I would use Proform rocker arms, or Eagle parts to build this engine with.

However, if you do you'll find out personally why you shouldn't have used them.

Wasn't Eagle the company whose cranks were breaking left and right a while back?
 
How do they stay in business if the breakage is continually happen ?
 

and there ain't no 850 TQ on that engine, it's a 1000cfm HP Holley.
It's about what I'd expect from a sub .600 lift cam.
Folks forget, the 'HP' Series of Holleys are rated @2"Hg delta, not 1.5"Hg, ....a 1000HP is the equivalant of an 866cfm std. 4150 DP. The venturi & throttle blades are the same dimensionally as an 850DP. No choke, improved airhorn contour, & tunability are the big plus factors. With the annular boosters, prob. flow the same as an 850, but are super responsive & make more power....at least My experience so far.

Because not everyone is on the internet picking up the latest news on people reporting on the internet of their broken/failing parts if, IF it gets reported. Also as well if, IF the person reads the report that may only be found on one forum.

How many MoPar forums are there?
Do you read them all?

Eagle’s fixing of the problem still had older cranks out to be sold.

Weren’t the Eagle broken cranks mostly small block CAST cranks? …. About 10 years ago?
 
The car described in the original post is a street car with handling upgrades and 315/40/18 rear tires.

His objective was between 500-600 HP with 470” stroker. So for 550 HP that is 1.17 HP/CID.

Seems doable with 241/247 @050 cam and TF240 heads ??

I’d worried about the 10.5:1 compression on 92 octane gas with street motor. My perspective, that’s safer with 9.7-10.0:1 compression.
