Looks great!

 

I want that Hahn manifold and the rods.

 

lol im actually considering upgrading my rods to Pauter rods, but havent made up my mind yet. that way i can squeeze the extra power and not worry about bending a rod

 

What are those rods rated at?

 

well i saw on a website some where that they have eagle at 500

 

You can run upto 750 HP on Eagle rods, you will be fine, no one has ever bent one...

 

Wow thats a bold statement

 

ya i just found that site i was talking about its importperformanceparts.net and they only have them up to 500. but id have to ask around more, but definitly a thought to keep in mind

 

Bold indeed. With my shitty luck I will bend one.

 

http://www.eaglerod.com/2008%20Eagle%20catalog.pdf
look at page 10 its strictly for our engines. it says 700hp. im shocked

 

It might be 700, as shown we knew it was up there

There is a "safety factor" in there, so 750 should not be out of line.

 

ok quick question for you then..what size bearings would i need with my eagle crank and eagle rods from clevite since i know you sell them

 

Where'd you get that crankshaft anyways???

 

not true, al (witt) will teach you if you want

yes, schooling in progress

i paid $305 for my kit shipped from my vendor

I may have bent one. ill let you know in a week or so

stock rod bearings handle lots of hp (recommended by GM in builds until they use honda ****) clevite idk, ttr can answer that most likely

 

i got the crank off a guy from the j-body website a while back. this all was going to go on a cavalier but it has since bit the dust lol. i paid 300 for it new. what a steal!

 

Stock size, but you may have to chamfer the sides of the bearing to have the correct clearance with the crank filet radius

And do NOT forget to check these

 

alright thanks for the input. ya really the only things i have left that are IMO are darton sleeves, all clevite bearings, oil pump gears, neutral balance shafts, cam gears, lightweight flywheel, and stage 3 clutch. those are my main focuses right now

 

Badass about the crank.

 

as promised more pics with new parts.

finally got my .5mm ovr szd valves

 

Do you have an idea of how much they're going to charge to do the internals?

I would do it all myself, but I don't trust myself with the internals.

Let me know because I might just drive up there myself.

 

umm not sure, because im putting new sleeves in the block and they would have to bore eem out for the ovr szd pistons. so im guessing whoever they go through for the bottom end would put together the pistons and rods and crank. and like i said they are sending my head with my cams off to port flow.
i think theyre just doing the rest after that. i know they are doing a custom 3in exhaust in house for me though i think through hks but not sure

 

I'm 100% sure if you use the supertech springs with GM install height and OEM retainers it will not even reach .400 lift...before they bind. I called and talked to supertech about this, and they game me a different install height. Gm is something like 1.21 and supertech told me 1.35 if I remember correctly.

Please prove me wrong, and I meet you somewhere in youngstown and buy you and Erod a beer. Since if I'm down that way I need to visit Erod lol.

 

I'm not sure it is really true,

the supertech titanium retainer is dished and is "cheating" on springs installed height vs valve height

 

ya theyre dished and have a slight increase in height but i havent measured them.
