New motor at machine shop now.
Today when I droped off the parts for my new short block ( Rodeck aluminum block, LA billet crank, Eagle 3D H beam rods, Wiseco forged pistons. ) he asked me the reason for running Eagle rods and not Carrillo rods.
I told him that $ 1,300 for rods was more than I wanted to spend than he walked into the parts room and returned with a set of Carrillo stroker rods with SPS-CARR bolts in them ( $400 extra ) and said have you forgot that you have a extra set in storage here.
Now the bad news the crank I have will not work with them so its time to buy a new crank so if someone wants a good deal on a LA billet 383 crank with Eagle 3D rods email me.

Jerry, I think you fit the "... you know you're a serious hot-rodder when ...", since you have/had a spare rotating assy you did not know about (forgot). Good to hear you are making progress. BTW, what is the target CID, 2 cubes short of huge?

All my cranks in the past have been about 50 to 52 lbs the new one is under 44 lbs I want to see this.
Crank spec is
• Aero-Wing Design Counterweights
• for Reduced Windage
• Nitride Hardened For Superior
• Wear Resistance
• Pendulum Undercut Counterweights
• Straight Shot Oiling System
• Counterweights for 6.0" Rods
• Lightening Holes in All Rod Throws
• Large Fillet Radii on All Journals
• Less Than 44lbs.
