Stroker rod-cam clearance
Hi
just wanted to ask...
i run these rods in my 396 Stroker..
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...T&autoview=sku
would they work with a "normal" camshaft, or will i have to get a small base circle cam?
thank you

The description says that they aren't clearanced for a stroker.
I kind of got caught up in the topic because even though they say they aren't clearanced they sure look like they would clear just fine.
Ends up I was right and so was the description. They will work...just not in a 396.

But, do call them and get it from the guys who really know.

i have special stroker clearanced rods p/n CRS(ESP) 6000BST, i bought them directly from eagle..did use a small base circle cam on my last built, but i really think its overkill...
also, just go to the bottom of the page in your ebay link...the rods, they are referring there, are the ones, i run...
i will, like CFE-EFI mentioned give them a call..unfortunately the eagle homepage seems to be down at the moment...
thank you

thanks, Maximus9000
that are the rods, i´m currently running. CRS6000BST..so, still the question..will the clear a normal base circle cam?
i really think, they should...
it seems, nobody ever built an engine with them...

On my 398 - 3.875" stroke x 4.040"bore - first time around I used a Comp .900" base circle solid roller cam with the regular Eagle 3D rods with no clearance problems cam wise. This time around went with much more aggressive cam lobes - very similar durations, same .900" base circle - and had to clearance the shoulders of the rods for clearance. It wasn't a base circle clearance problem, but clearance at the flanks of the cam lobes.
Unless somebody's put together your exact combination you're not going to be able to get a definite answer.

Here are the rods I use with a 3.80" stroke. Plenty of cam clearance with a Hotcam. Eagle lightweights
