and these pistons
10-K398F (insert PN at www.texas-speed.com)
be ok for a 408 pushing 550RWHP N/A and a 350 shot NX direct port kit?
i guess what im asking, is will this bottom end handle 1000 crank hp? i know my setup wont be making quite that, but i want to be on the safe side.

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.

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.
