We are hearing better longevity experiences with the Eagle 4340 rods. We are hearing of the bushing fatiguing and failing and the rods being to soft. 3 of these will be blower motors so we will be looking at other steel rod options. Those who will be drag only can choose from a aluminum or steel rod if they wish.
We are also looking into SFI approved balancers. As we move forward next week all of you interested in a SFI balancer will be notified on brands and reasons to switch to a certain brand. If you want in on the group buy we will give you our discount on the balancers.
This group buy may include other members here (You listening Brek?)
We have a expert balancing vendor who builds the most extreme lower ends in the 5 state area just minutes north of our shop if any of you want a pre-balance done before we ship these stroker kits back to you let me know.
Flexplates and flywheels are on the mind as well so as we move forward those who want in on a group buy can do so accordingly. I would suggest SFI approved FLX/FLY for these stroker kits as they will be putting out some nice numbers even with a poorly chosen camshaft.
We have a head porting article coming up which will highlight the Edelbrock head for the AMC V8. Anyone wanting a parted set can get a set at a reduced cost (Just PM me later next week).
Jan 6-13 will be vacation time for the shop and the lights will be kept on for the website but the shop wont have anyone working so if you need something you will have to wait until we return.
CRANKSHAFTS HAVE BEEN DROPPED OFF AND ALL CORES LOOK GOOD SO FAR
Some of you needed welkding on thrust and other surfaces and each will be billed seperately for this. I was quoted $40 per journal and will try to hold them to it.
Thank you so far for your participation we look forward to the builds as we get closer
