like the title says. I would rather not use the stock crank. I have seen many of our sponsors that have them without a forged crank. Does anyone know where to get one. I would like to stay away from Eagle because i have heard some bad stuff. I know they are probably fine just have read some bad stories.
TIA

Sorry i am looking for a short block by the way.

 

What's wrong with the stock crank if you don't mind my asking?

 

Yea,its good to over 800HP....

 

Well i would just rather go forged. Hell you never know if i might go more than that. Plus with the luck i have been having lately i would rather just be safe. Now instead of asking questions could someone answer mine.

 

A forged crank? Almost any sponser should have one. I believe Lunati makes a forged crank if you want to stay away from Eagle. I just checked and Thunder Racing sells that and two other brands.

Good luck!

 

I am looking for a complete short block

 

Try HPE then. I think they have them.

 

Ok will do. I think they use eagle but not sure. I am sure they can build me whatever i want.

 

Mike, where are you? If you want to but a short block your best bet is to find a sponsor close to you. Do a search to see what kind of work that sponsor does.

If you want to work with us, let me know. We build 'em from 346 to ...well...quite large

I am in Indiana but will travel or pay shipping it really doesnt matter to me. I will check out your website and maybe give you a call tomorrow.

 

TTT for me!!!

 

if you're goin with a forged crank why not go the 383 route? 4 '' crank, then later you could get her gored for a 408?

 

exactly. paying 2k for a lunati 3.622 stock crank is a waste of money. Harlan has already proved the stock cranks strength capacity.

 

Everyone said on here that it would be better to go with a stock bore rather than a stroker route. I don't know what to do i am still in denial i think. Just doing lots of research before i make the plung.

 

I totally agree. I just don't know where i am going with this yet. I would hate to spend the money and then find out the hard way i should have gone another. I have very bad luck and i am just trying to cover my *** no matter what the expense. I am tired of breaking down i guess you could say. You are probably right just haven't decided yet. Thanks for the input i have definitly not put that out of my options yet.

 

383 is stock bore with a 4'' crank, you can order a full rotating assembily from alot of our sponsors. If it was me i would go with a 383 first, then start beefing up the rest of my car for a 408 when i have the money.

 

your luck cant have been any worse then mine, my motor went . i replaced it with a forged 347; stock treated crank, custom diamond pistons, eagle H beams, Clevite bearings, brand new ls6 block, arp main heads studs, all machined and balanced for under 3k.

 

I will just have to see what to do, but that does sound like a good idea.

you might wanna call them up, or any other sponsor for that matter, and get their advice.
