I plan on building a 383 over the winter. I've already got the block with all machine work done, now i'm just trying to decide on what rotating assembly to go with. My current plan is to run a LE3 h/c set up with about 11.0:1 or so cr and possibly a 150 shot later on down the road. Would an eagle forged crank, 6.0 h-beam rod, and je srp flat top piston set up be able to handle all of that pretty easily? Or is there a need to get stronger parts?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Eagle will be perfect just make sure you buy it unbalenced and have them shave the weight off the flywheel and balence it at a shop

 

Thanks!

Does anyone know about how much hp the Eagle forged 4340 crank (3.75 stroke) is rated at?

 

I've heard from a couple of people, one being my machine shop, and another person is on this board that the eagle 4340 crank and H-beams will support a little over 1,000 fwhp. I don't think you have anything to worry about

 

Well that's definitely good to know. Looks like i'll be going with the eagle forged rotating assembly...

Thanks!
