About 3 months and around 500 miles with a smile on my face since getting mine. All in all it's a kit I've been happy with. If the new tranny goes in without many problems I hope to get it on the dyno this weekend.

I'm using one. I used Forged 10:1 pistons, Eagle H-Beam forged rods, and thier crank. My mistake was putting a lot of money into porting, polishing of 1.94 iron heads. I should have put aluminum heads on it. Runs good though!

I'm going to do the build with my "engine guru"
Gordonm. I'm getting a 350 block bored .030 over and planning of pulling the #'s matching block out and put it in storage. I'll be using the AFR heads, manifold, carb, roller rockers, etc. from the current engine. I'm still reviewing kits and components by Eagle and Scat seeing which is the better bang for the money. I'm hoping to get my 73 to the track before I pull the engine and get some baseline numbers on my current setup so it's going to be awhile before I do any work. The way i'd like to go is around 450 hp with ample torque, anything close or over 500hp and I'll never get traction....

Eagle rods i know are forged in china but finished in the USA. The engine builder that is building my motor says that they are very high quality don't be botherd by the forged in china part. I'm sure their cranks are the same way. Chec out CNC-motorsports.com they had the best prices for most of the stuff i bought for my motor and free shipping

It arrived with the forged crank, forged eagle rods, speed pro teflon coated pistons, clevite 77 bearings and rings, a pioneer flexplate, and balancer. The stroker kit was somewhere in the neighborhood of $750... So in terms of a budget performance build, it fit into my plans perfectly. There was absolutely no fuss and things went together as they should.

(i'm away on vacation so access to the internt is somewhat infrequent for the next 6 days ....)
