Eagle S. B. Stroker Cranks

[Dustu]

Any one used or heard much about the Eagle S.B. stroker Cranks ESP cast series .Street, strip and towing. Claims good up to 500 hp and 7500 rpm ?They were   dirt cheap on ebay!  Use standard type bearing too.Sounds good .

I've heard above 450 HP and you want a forged.  ?? I went forged since I'll be making a tad more than 450.

I have not used them or have any feed back on them , personally I would prefer to use forged cranks for balancing but other then that the cast are plenty strong

I built a 4" stroke 318, with the Eagle cast crank, I have no feedback yet, I haven't put it in......but I am happy so far, only snag I ran into is my Milidon windage tray and the crank hit. No biggie.
I never heard of problems with them, and a stock cast crank, is usually god for 500HP, right?

[Dustu]

They say you don't have to add heavy metal to balance these. Cheaper than M.P.and use stock bearings.

I have heard of a few others using them without problems as long as it is kept to a mild build.

See, I've heard it's the stock block that will be safe to 500. I have a Hughes girdle. There aren't any #'s out there for girdle strengthening so I can't say what a girdle will let you push.
I've got a forged rotating assembly, girdle, Hughes prepped Eddy's, and a Supercharger I am going to throw in a pot and see what I come out with. I wouldn't use a cast crank for that.
 N/A, stock heads, I would go cast to save $.

Well, give the cast crank a try! You never know what will work and what wont. LOL.

I don't know about 340's and 360's, but I have seen 318 blocks pushing 600HP stock, and the block wasn't what failed.

I just bought two of the Eagles...I havent measured them yet, but they were cheap, and available. I needed one kind of fast.

I would trial fit the rotating assembly before balancing.  I built a stroker last winter with Eagle forged crank, SIR rods and Probe pistons.  The bottom of the piston pin bosses were hitting the crank throws.  I ended up machining the bosses and rebalancing.

I monk up every engine I build. Even with std size stuff you get snafus...lol I want to know before I clean and start putting it all together.

I used an Eagle cast crank on my 408 build. The build makes 480 hp and 500 lb. ft. I don't think it's power you have to be real concerned about as much as your RPM's with a cast crank. Mine makes max hp at 5,600 RPMs. Unless you are spinning at above 6,000-6,500 RPMs and making well above 550 hp, in which case you are wearing fully ported W2 or Indys...a cast crank is fine. BTW, my Eagle crank needed ZERO mallory to balance. I almost went with a forged crank, but I'm glad I didn't.

That's what they said no heavy metal needed. I would like to see your eng .specs.,sounds like what I am looking to build.Sounds perfect! Alltho mine may go in my 86' swb 150 s.e. or my stock looking 340 duster ?

Compression = 10.2:1

I reused a lot of parts like the block and intake, etc... from my crashed Mopar 380hp 360 Magnum crate motor (only 2K miles, RIP ). Breaking the 500 hp mark came down to the heads in my case. If I had another $1-$2K and could do it again I might go with the Indys and that would have gotten me to 530 hp I am certain. But I am happy with my results for $8K.
