Critique my engine build!!

what is the difference between http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/itemdesc.asp+ic+17223134005967E+eq++Tp+ and http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/itemdesc.asp+ic+172523134005967+eq++Tp+ I thought they stopped making a external balanced crank. So from the reading I can just drop the crank in from the first link in with my current flex plate and balancer?

When you change a crank, it still should be balanced with the flexplate and balancer that you're going to use. If you buy an external balance crank, you can use your damper and flexplate, but you probably shouldn't. The balancer is old and the rubber most likely not doing a good job anymore and the flexplates weren't that great stock anyway. The stock balancers also like to crack in the keyway. If you're buying a new balancer and flexplate, might as well go internal for availability. That being said, I'm using an external balance Eagle crank in my build, but it was a new one that was around from a while ago and I snatched it up. Internal balance works great though.

I overbuilt. mine is a .030 109 four billet mains and girdled zero decked balanced and blue printed forged rotating assembly roller cam set up alum gn 1 heads 55lbers and a 51 turbo. lol

I decided to do the same thing so far I purchased a forged rotating assembly, billet mains, champion heads, 210/215 full throttle cam, Harland sharp rockers. 6266 ps turbo. I figure is cheaper to do it right the first time

Keep us posted on the progress. Who is going to build this forged jewel?

I like your choice!!! I have a build similar to yours without the forged rotating assembly...I do have billet main caps which helps...If I need to build again just gonna go with one of these reasonable priced stroker kits!! Good Luck with the build!! I think mid tens will not be too much to ask out of your combo on 26lbs of boost
