I know i want SRP forged pistons and total seal gapless rings but am not sure on the eagle cast crank/ SIR I beam rod package or the scat cast crank/4140 rods. Scat claims their rods are better/stronger than the 5140 eagle I beams however ive heard many people say eagle is the best. Any experience or advice would be great as i cant wait to shred through some hefty meats!! Thanks, Eric
Well they are both import brands.
I have never seen either a Scat or an Eagle assembly break.
If you are worried about it run a 4340 assembly.
In the engines I build if I get close to 750 on a sbc or about 900 hp on a bbc I
will try and buy American.
