hhmm 383ci Solid Roller .. sounds wicked

One other thing. The pistons must be designed for a 4" crank. If the pistons you have are made for a stock stroke they will not work with the 4" crank. The pistons are the part that need to be made for whatever stroke and rods you'll be using.

I want to hear what a machinist has to say about this crank before getting overly excited. Sometimes new Eagle cranks have been tappered on the journals etc. A lot of extra machining required to balance/machine cranks properly that has issues like that. I hope the LS1 stroker cranks will be a lot better

I have been thinking of my next setup, now this is some good news. I think a stroker will be in my future.

This is good news. What will the prices be for a 382-383 stroker kit and for a 427 stroker kit?

I have heard that Eagle uses forgings from China, then finishes them here.

True?

Aidan and I are using the same setup except he is going to use an Iron block. What i got from him was an Eagle 4" crank, Crower rods with ARP rod bolts, Diamond boost piston for 8.5:1 comp, diamond rings, and rist pins for $2000. I also got ARP mains. Vince give me a call today.

You might depending on the Rockwell # of the metal. Historically Chinese rods & cranks have been rather brittle relative to US forgings. Not a problem 'til you start rattling the motor (RPM's/Nitrous)

Probably because he would have to add the expense of a C5-R block or a sleeved block to get the 427 inches? "383" or close to it would be with stock liners and a 4" crank only.

The 383 is $2000 for the entire kit w/o install....and he can retain use of his current heads if he desires.

A 427 is $4000 minimum just for a basic shortblock, and that doesn't include the new heads he'll need....so tack on another say $2000-$4000 depending on how crazy he'd want to get.

Thanks Verbs. That is exactly why i did it. The other option was to go with an iron block. I have been fighting it over in my head and i decided i didnt want to add the wight after all. what was the most important thing to me..... strength. I wanted to be able to run more boost then i am now and not have to worry. The pig also weighs 3834 with me in and no weight reduction. With the seats all out including the passenger i got ot down to 3640. Who likes to drive like that all the time?? Not me. When i go to the track yeah. It really has to do with your goals and how much $$$$$ you have to play with. Just like Scott Turvey said above you can use the stck liners. All i need is a clean up hone of .007 and then all new bearings and have a machine shop put it togeather and make sure its all balanced and throw my heads on and basiclly i have a new motor. Hope this cleared up all the questions. My kit will be going in as soon as the parts get shipped and get to me.
