Just wanted to say thanks for posting your experiences, many times, if all goes well you usually don't hear about it, most times you only hear the horror stories.....thanks again!

Other than having your block honed, did you have any other machine work done to the block prior to the install of the Eagle kit?

Thanks, Perry

I'm finishing up my LS2 402 block with an Eagle crank/rod combo.The parts are nice quality.Going to push the hp out of it with AFR 225's and a D1 blower.That should test the strength of the parts

Perry, I did have to do a little clearaceing...just under the cilynder sleave. there is a small area where the rod bolt will hit as the crank is turning over. I took a die grinder and put a little notch on the surface of that area, and it clears just fine. I didnt even have to gind into the sleave it self, just a little excess aluminum. Hard to explain, but once you have the block sitting in front of you, its easy to tell. I'll have to look when I get home to see if I took any pics of it, but I don't think I did

Damn. You don't fool around do you? Are you going to dyno it n/a, then with the blower?
