Default stock crank or eagle?

If you were building a budget short block, Would you use the stock crank, or an eagle crank? Wich one is stronger???

for a budget build 347 just use the stock crank, we recommend the stocker up to 800hp and stockers have been pushed even harder with no problems.

Use the stock crank. Spend your money on the rods.
