Eagle Crank availiblity

[Steve V]

The Eagle crank I have used had terrible journal finish. I spent hours hand fitting rod and main bearings. I prefere the GN1 cranks. With an Eagle you should have it re-ground to better dimensions. Maybe they are better now, but the one I have used seriously hacked me off!!! The GN1's have all fit well. Also, no downside to going stroker. Send your rods and pistons back and buy a stroker kit.
This is just my experience, yours may vary.

Just a side note- those heads you did that landed up on one of my cars made 598hp and 607 tq- they are bad ass!

We have installed 5 Eagle cranks over the past few months and none of them required any extra work?

Thank you. Nice to hear the effort paid off. Every single person I have shown how to port heads, said that once they half assed their own set, they would NEVER EVER DO ANOTHER HEAD!!!! LOL. I am tweaking a set right now, but am pretty sure I'm done, too.

Stock stroke or stroker?

Good to hear, Nick. The only one I personally have used (purchased in probably 2008) is a problem child.

 

[TurboTGuy]

Not trying to mess with any supporting vendors, but Nick Micale and Lou Czarnota have forged stroker cranks available to those that are in need of one.

EDIT: I guess I'm late to the party.............

Sorry.

Has anyone gotten one in 2016? I bought a stock stroke eagle kit from Full throttle in DEC 2015 during Christmas sale. In there defense I was told they where on back order of up to 60 days. I was given the option to get the GN1 crank for an additional $300. I said no thanks that will negate the savings. I've been patient and still patient and have called every 2 months or so. They've had my $$$ since Dec so I am just starting to think these cranks will never show up?

Hey Steve, I called Eagle today for another project and I asked about crank availability. They stated they have plenty available in stock on the internal balance and they have had good stock all year. I called back in March and they had plenty of stock then too.

Thanks Dave. I called Eagle myself last week and was told the l 4140 was instock not the 4340. I called FTS and Marianne told me she received an email from Eagle saying cranks where about a week out. So hopefully I will see it soon.

Just curious how much material was removed to balance them?

I have the more costly external version (machine to reduce counter weights), to achieve 36.6 the machine shop said they still had to removed an additional 100 grams per counterweight.

I just got one from eagle on Monday.

Int. or Ext. balanced and what material?

 

[TurboBuRick]

4340 internal

That's what the box says anyways...

4340 internal

Can't go by that.....that's what they all say and has been discussed in the past.


After receiving mine a while back I gave it a thorough going over. Overall it's a very nice piece but I did send Eagle a little feedback/wishlist. I'm curious how much of it was implemented to the latest production run......

 

[Steve V]

And still no crank...another call is in order to FTS...

 

[Steve V]

Lookie here...it finally showed up after 9 months ....it's a 4140 not 4340 so it's not the good one either...why should it take 9 months for a crank that eagle has had stock of all year? I learned my lesson, I will do better homework next time.
