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!
Thanks! :thumblef: I like that idea, as my plan is to put the engine on a stand in my little shop and build it slow. I have no room to store the car at home and I need something to work on after work, not going to drive out to where I have the scamp every night, wherever that will be ? :/
oh and you nailed it on the head who needs ****** when there's Mopars and classic Chevy's just waiting for you....but idk ****** before a Ford ? maybe haha joking...
