I would have agreed 3-4 years ago...but now that's just not the case. Any machinist worth his weight in salt should have no problems at all!

I think I would put a better rod in there if I knew I was going to be turning that kind of power. What RPMs are planning on turning it up to?
The piston you chose is the same piston I am going to be running in my 347. The piston according to the woman at wiseco is made to handle a 400 shot. So there is no problems there.
I would maybe look into Howards rods that are more durable in high HP engines.

I would go with Scat over Eagle, but that’s just me. Both cost around the same and the Scat crank is a little better on the machine shop. Eagle crank will usually run different size bearings all the way around because of the inconsistencies in the journals.
Now If you can save up another $500 you could go with a Callies crank and rods.
The Pistons should be OK, though I would check with the machine shop.

Verdad Gallardo That maybe tru, but for any crank, have it checked. I went with a Dragon slayer for that reason on my last build, never an issue.
Of course you "check" the crank. Every engine should be balanced fully and Eagle/Callies/Lunati/Scat/GM cranks are no exception to that. That's assumed in this thread, IMO! The point is, Eagle is no more difficult to balance than the others mentioned.

agreed, i wasent asking if they need to be balanced. every rotating assembly needs to be balanced. hell, even if i put a stock short block back together, i would have it balanced.
