Eagle 4.000" Crank - $990.00
Eagle 6.125" Rods - $550.00
Diamond 3.905" Pistons & Rings - $770.00
Federal Mogul Main/Cam Bearings - $150.00

All that's left is the cost of the small stuff: Gaskets/Fluids/Machining/Assembly/Installation.

I looked in to this for a friend... If you look at Summit, you'll see that Eagle cranks are $790, Eagle H-beam rods with L19 bolts are ~$480, and Ross LS1 pistons are under $700 (with pins & rings). Throw in bearings for under $150, and you're a shade over $2k, shipping included. Not gonna get much cheaper than that without skimping on components. Tack on a couple hundred for machine checking and balancing of the kit, and you're good to go.

We have our Eagle/JE kits for $2182 unbalanced, and just a bit more for the balanced kit. They are in stock ready to ship. PM or e-mail me with any questions about specific applications and the like.

I'd had been thinking about doing a 383 stroker myself, however, with SLP's ZL402 package coming out, I think I have seen the light. For $3,500 you get all you need. You can then sell the old LS1 motor and get some moeny back. Great deal!

when is this slp kit zl402 coming out? is it the block and all? sounds too good to be true, i wouldnt have to fool with having block bored or kit installed, nothing would have to be balanced sounds too good. will i still be able to remove my zo6 heads and cam and other components and use them on this block? is it just the ls1 pre bored and built up or is it an actual 402 motor? let me know if you know thanks.

im feeling a little overwhelmed with information like drinking from a fire hydrant. haha. thanks guys.
