I am trying to pick out a crank for my motor. I am boring it .030 over, and just want a nice forged crank to compliment my other forged internals. Am planning to run a 150 to 200 shot on it. I am on a budget, was thinking about maybe a scat. Anyone have any thoughts?

 

stock crank...it will hold up with forged rods and pistons...
unless you want a stroker...then eagle is a nice piece

 

Yeah I was thinking about keeping the stock crank, but a forged crank would make me feel better about it. I cant have this motor blow up on me. Did u get my text about the w/p?

 

yep, i dont think youll push that crank hard enough with a 150-200 shot...with heads youll be near 600..still i dont think its the part to worry about, piston/rod/rings are more likely to let go...if you go with a ctroker crank though i think youll still have to notch the block even with i beams, in that case you should buy my eagle rods...and go all out...

but the nice part about a stroker crank is you have more cubes so you can do a bigger cam and it will be more tame....

 

The eagle parts are junk, tolerances all over the board, and no depth of hardening. If you want a forged crank that is not pricey, get a Scat or Probe. I have used many of both brands, and they are in spec most of the time and are better material than the eagles...not all 4340 cranks are the same

 

Yeah, I think I am just gonna stay with the stock crank.

 

How do you plan on keeping it together with a 150 or 200 shot? Nothing like puttin the juice to her but not making the bottom end to handle it. Let's not forget the 2 bolt mains either.

 

I say go for it, just use ARP main studs and some high quality rod bolts. I need to see if your set-up holds up. That way I can give it a shot (no pun intended) in a couple of years.
