Eagle 4.000" Crank - $990.00
Eagle 6.125" Rods - $550.00
Diamond 3.905" Pistons & Rings - $770.00
Federal Mogul Main/Cam Bearings - $150.00

All that's left is the cost of the small stuff: Gaskets/Fluids/Machining/Assembly/Installation.

I looked in to this for a friend... If you look at Summit, you'll see that Eagle cranks are $790, Eagle H-beam rods with L19 bolts are ~$480, and Ross LS1 pistons are under $700 (with pins & rings). Throw in bearings for under $150, and you're a shade over $2k, shipping included. Not gonna get much cheaper than that without skimping on components. Tack on a couple hundred for machine checking and balancing of the kit, and you're good to go.

We have our Eagle/JE kits for $2182 unbalanced, and just a bit more for the balanced kit. They are in stock ready to ship. PM or e-mail me with any questions about specific applications and the like.

I'd had been thinking about doing a 383 stroker myself, however, with SLP's ZL402 package coming out, I think I have seen the light. For $3,500 you get all you need. You can then sell the old LS1 motor and get some moeny back. Great deal!
