It surprises me that Chris would say that though I know it screwed up their scheduling etc when the first batch was bad.

However since the fixes everything seems great.

I run an Eagle crank and rods in my motor with no issues yet. Makes good power and I am enjoying the combo greatly!

 

Hate to bring this post back from the dead, but I was going to ask the same thing. How many crankshafts have any of you heard of breaking or failing? I haven't been at it that long, but I've never heard of it. So how much of a difference is there really between an Eagle crank and a Callies/Scat/Lunati/etc... crank?

 

Well how often do you hear of a stock crank going south? I do not think Eagle would make a crank weaker than the stock one. Every crank manufacturer has a target "audience", Eagle is the companie that they turn to for a great product for a great price.

I just talked to Eagle on the phone, and of course their opinion is biased, but this is what he said.

They have cranks in motors that pull 2000 HP without a problem, and would put their cranks and rods up against any other manufacturer out there. The reason they get a bad rap is because they are cheaper than most and the reason they can charge such low prices is they are the largest manufacturer of connecting rods period. They mass produced their parts which makes it more affordable.

Now I don't know if they lose quality in their mass production process. Although he is a cheerleader for his own team, he made very good points.

 

I thought they were cheap because alot (if not all) of their products are manufactured overseas..

 

I wouldn't worry about an Eagle crank at 1000 HP. The stock cranks have withstood that much and sometimes more (Harlans car). I agree with Erik from HPE unless you're looking to do an endurance style racing I'd stick with an Eagle crank. I've been contemplating a 382 w/ an Eagle crank but the 346 w/ the stock crank is a bit cheaper. Never-the-less I wouldn't fear the Eagle stuff in my motor.

 

They are made in China, Eagle buys the steel and ships it over there. But mass producing stuff reduces cost greatly. The import/export and tarriffs/taxes/fees/shipping/etc have got to cost a lot also. Who knows.
