I’m going to be building a 441” and was looking into using the Eagle ESP crank and rods. I can’t find a whole lot about them using google. Anyone have any experience using them?

 

I've had the same 4" Eagle crank for 11 years now, but i have Callies Compstar rods, its had one grind thanks to no fault of its own. Its still going strong.

 

I would try other forums (Yellowbullet etc...) AND wait for more feedback here. I've seen good comments form TV shows with them. But I wouldn't trust them 100%.

I've heard Eagle that had problems on machining, but no 1st hand exp. I haven't heard of any bad about to their coated armor ones. Try contacting TSP. I've seen them tell people which brands have a good rep. Worth a shot.

 

Hi 95L, there are two crankshaft plants in China, next to each other.

One Plant IS the Eagle side, the other side is Callies, Scat, Pantera supplier location.

I agree the Scat side has better machine quality.

I too offer an All Forged rotating assembly, balanced for $1850.00 depending on piston alloy/shelf choice. (1850BW)

For stroker builds, the Eagle rods usually don't have as good of a profile as Callies, TSP, etc so you might end up spending a little more anyways for block clearancing. My iron 402 has a K1 crank and Callies rods and needs no clearancing of the block.

 

Thanks for the input, greatly appreciated!
