not a very good kit...

stay away from cast cranks... your stock crank is better than a cast crank.

Should've figured

If something is cheap there must be a reason for it.

Eagle Cast stay away from but Eagle Forged is very good quality. I've had an Eagle setup (forged of course) in my 383 for over 12 years and ZERO issues.

yep ive read 2 threads on broken eagle cast cranks,on 2 different forums over the last few months..

your stock crank is a good, nodular iron crank...if your looking at a budget build use it.. get the assembly balanced, and your good to 6500rpm..

alot are running the stock crank, and using a set of h-beam rods, and forged pistons.. i'm going with reground stock crank, 94stock rods-resized with arp rodbolts, and speedpro flattop pistons..
