They are forged steel 4340 I think?

Also that is awesome the reluctor is already on. I am going to order one if it is 800.00 bucks!!

Balancing should be anywhere from 100-300 bucks!

Cheers,
Chris

I have the paper work from Eagle and Chris right. They are 4340 forged steel.
They also say the cranks are internally balanced. SOunds too good to be true But it's true. I emailed Eagle to see who's pistons they are going to use for their kit. But if the crank goes for $800 i'm getting one. AGAIN my setup changes..lol.

I just ordered a 4.0" crank and rods from them, ill have them in a couple days ill post some pictures when they show up.

At 10% below jobber they are a steal! It was $**** (price edited for wholesalers) for 4.0" forged crank and Ls1 forged h-beam 6.1" rods...geez im going to see if i can do this complete 427 stroker for $3000.

Anybody know if some of the sponsors have these on order already? I wonder if MTI will offer engines with these cheap cranks.

Uh how man. I just called Eagle and they said $1060 for the crank and $625.33 for the rods, and he said he wouldn't start taking orders until the very end of November. Where did you get this pricing from and how? I need to know!

I spoke to them at the SEMA show, all the cranks were ready to ship but they were waiting on the custom boxes to fit the reluctor wheels safely in, i guess i got on the list for one of the first ones out the door. I have to pay a bunch on shipping because the weight. And he cut me a price break on one to try it out and see how i liked them, because i do alot of buisness with them.

If anyone would like to purchase a rod/piston package, i can sell the rods/crank together for $1300 plus shipping. if you want it balanced, and including forged pistons of any compression it would be $2000. our shop sells the complete 427 shortblock assembled and ready to go,all forged, balanced etc (including resleeved block) for $4000 + (core block or $500)
(Crank is a 3.622,3.90 or 4.0 choice, all same price).

You wont recieve it for 2-4 weeks though. message me if you want to be one of first on the list to get them.

If you want to use 6.125" rods you just need to get a different piston. The crank has nothing to do with what rod length you use. The connection point in the piston will be different for different length rods.
