Hi Gurus.

Need your advise.

I spun a rod last week and have pulled my motor. My LT1 is an Eagle 383 rotating assy. Cast. 5.7 rods. KB Hyper slugs.

I have searched the forums and found many* engine builders that claimed Scat is FAR superior to Eagle (*BLOCKMAN is one).

Any of you heard about them? Dealt with them? Had any dealings with them? Are they trustworthy?

Reason I ask is they deal with both Scat AND Eagle cranks.

They claim that BOTH are equal in quality. That they have sold and built many stroker kits (and engines) using both and have absolutlely no preference.

Funny, but it costs more (up here) to gring my crank than to purchase a replacement, thus the plan to replace.

Scat and eagle are made from the same blanks. Machined in different buildings. Like many others, I've been told by the machine shop that one takes more than the other to balance.

Last rotating assembly I had balanced (august) cost me $125, which was just drilling. In the past I've had cranks that needed tungsten added, which adds to the cost a little bit.

If you still have a record of the bob weight, you could simply have skip balance the crank to that and a stock flywheel.
