I'm building a 454 for a friend, and he wants a stroker. In Summit Racing, there are rotating ***emblies from **** and Eagle. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of using these stroker kits? Their kit makes an approx. 490-500 cu in engine. I have never purchased these kits. How are they -good or bad? I believe the cranks and rods are overseas items, but am not sure. Your input please? Thanks We don't want to just purchase a 502 stocker for 3K because he wants slightly higher compression, cam, etc which means changing it.
Father and Brother used forged Eagle rotating ***emblies in the 540s they built. Dad was easy on his, but my bro' punished his. 13.5:1 compression, huge solid roller, 360cc heads, dominator, and 250hp plate nitrous all in a 5000lb street driven truck. He tore up lots of stuff (primarily drive line) but never broke that engine.
I have a **** crank and rods in my 489. Not alot of time on it yet. Just some dyno time (640hp/540ft-lbs) and a few 9 second blasts at the track. So far so good.
