Depends on how you are going to run the car. If it is just for street and an occasional drag strip pass, a nodular iron crank is fine. Set the engine up to max out at about 5500 rpm. check out www. partscavengers.com. They have good prices on Eagle stroker kits and now are including free shipping. If you want all forged, they have it too.
