We have a sale on the K1 Technologies line. These cranks are holding up great in high horsepower applications. Here is a link to the sale on our website :http://weberracing.net/Engine-Type-G...184/index.html.
If you just need the crank and already have the other parts, shoot me a PM and I can get you pricing on the crank alone.
Thanks,
Leo

i had heard of some problems with the pilot bushing in the eagle cranks, that is what is in my engine (currently in progess) so i dont know if mine will be an issue. If it is what is the remedy??

We use eagle in a handful of things we build. I personally LOVE eagle stuff. As above posted, the Eagle crank will handle just about anything your ready to throw at it. For your 408 a Eagle 4340 crank will work just fine. Call me if need be we have plenty in stock.

We have run both cranks with great success. I think more than anything it comes down to a personal preference and going with a well known product. We run Eagle cranks in probably 70% of the motors we build. We have made over 1200 HP with both and have never had a failure from either one. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions or what way you decide to go. We have both on the shelf and can get you setup with smokin' deal!

Now the newb part... How the hell do you check timing if your damper is allowed to spin separate from the crank? That would also mean you could put it on at any degree orientation, for example, your #1 could be at TDC, but you put your damper on with the number one mark at say... 48 degrees. I'm confused on this part. This is from my lack of experience with the LSX thus far.

You dont check the timing from the crank damper on the LS1's , The timing is controlled from the reluctor ring and crank sensor & cam sensor. You need a hand held controller to read the timing, Now if you want to put the crank on TDC and make you a timing mark on the damper and mount you a marker on the cover and pin the damper, then you could use a timing light to read it.

Well I am definitely a total newb to LSX engines but... Typically the crank damper needs to stay aligned with the crank shaft. If it is allowed to spin on the snout, then it would be impossible for the damper to absorb torsional vibration as it would just spin instead of dampen.

I could swear, mine did too, I bought in 2006, but I just pulled the harmonic, to put on an ati balancer on, and I have no key way... I could swear to god, I had a key way on my crank. It is supposed to be 4 inch. I am scared the machine shop did a switch on me. I need to confirm this. The numbers on my nose is 417 stamped in. I am really nervous now.
