Ok Jpar, I'll bite (since you are obviously fishing for a response by mentioning it twice)....
He asked for feedback about his combo...the crank and converter don't match up with the other components (most everything is geared toward a drag car making ~500-550hp). The wrong converter will only make the car slow, but won't hurt anything.....the cast Eagle crank, if/when it fails it will take quite a few of those high dollar parts along with it (rods, pistons, block, heads, pushrods, etc.). Does it suck to think about replacing an internal engine component on a new build, YES...but if it were me, I would not run it (just my opinion).
Luckily, the OP is down on power bigtime, otherwise it may have already let go.......or it may last 10+ years, who knows....I just know that they (Eagle) had many issues with that specific crank in the past and I would not trust it.
Would I pull the crank out of my engine off the advice of some dude on the internet...heck no!....but if I researched things and found that those points were valid I may consider. To each their own, take it or leave it, won't bother me either way....Jpar ignored a lot of advice (mine and others) years ago building his stroker, and now has the self proclaimed "slowest stroker on the internet"....but that's ok, he built it, and he enjoy's it, so all is well. NOT saying you should follow blindly all the advice given by folks....Jpar is correct that other people will help you spend your money REALLY fast (I fell victim to that once upon a time), just saying do your research and enjoy what you've got.
Sorry, got really long winded for some reason, lol.
