Reply With Quotei can fix you up with a Callies crank and rods.
But an Eagle replacement would work fine. Or grind what you got.
Currently have Ohio Crank 4.250 4340 and eagle rods 6.385 that got toasted by an intake water leak lost 4 rod bearings and two mains. :cry: :cry:
So I am looking for sugestion on what I should use to replace this set up.
Je dished pistons 4.560 bore still good not even colored from use yet.
8-71 running 11% Over Doug Herbert Roller Cam for Blower 708 lift
Brodix 2x heads.
Should I spend extra money for Carrilo rods and say A Lunati Crank? :idea:
want it to hold up for the long haul.
Ps. who would you suggest to buy from .Thanks Doug

Like Infomaniac says......
We sell Eagle and Scat. At 15 -18 lbs no problems. I tend to get greedy so I run an L.A. Billet and Carillos. How much boost? TIMINATOR
The eagle deal is one heck of a rod for the money. The L-19 bolt upgrade is a manditory deal around our shop. But you can run for a long time and a lot of power and rpms with them. With your set-up, eagles with L-19 all the way.
I have not seen better prices on eagle products than Dyno-Flo in Vegas. 702-567-3035
Anyone seen or run the Ohio new billet cranks?
thanks for all the information
I have done some phone calls along with what I have read here.
nobody has had any failures becuase of material breakage just tunning issues or bearings going away with the offshore stuff. My local machinist suggested to use a callies crank and carrillo rod he does not like the offshore stuff?
I guess it would be if you do not feel warm and fuzy about the offshore stuff and I have extra money to spend on the american iron.
Ohio crank has there billet for 925.00 ?
Extreme duty I Beam rod 495.00 anybody running there stuff feedback
Thanks Again Doug
Had REEEAAALLLY bad luck with some of the offshore stuff recently. Mostly the ARP fasteners that don't look to be real ARP fasteners, yet have a stamp. Every brand name is the same stuff as the next guy. They are coming apart like clockwork in the SBC stuff. No bearing failures, the bolt just breaks. Seems like the offshore I beam stuff mostly.
Staying with the american made stuff is a good way to go. But can be a little costly.
I really like eagle rods. (The H beams. The SIR stuff is NOT good!) Even though they are offshore stuff, they check every piece that comes in and they send a TON back. The ones that get sent back from eagle get sent out again and sold as another brand. But eagle puts in REAL arp bolts. The L-19s are awesome. I have unfortunately tested them to 11000rpm with no failures. In a 565 BBC. They finish the rods nicely, and have real bolts.
For cranks, I hear the eagles are good, but I have never tested one.
I like Cola and Callies.
