Default Eagle ESP crank and rods experience

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.

Default China Crankshafts

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.
