I've got one of their steel internally balanced 383 cranks. They are generally regarded as good stuff.

Eagle makes good stuff. It's not the most top of the line out there, meaning it isn't the strongest or lightest. However, for most of us, Eagle rotating assemlblies will be more than enough. I know people running Eagle 4340 cranks and spraying them hard, running 9s.

I ran Eagle rods in my last 406, built in 2000 and it is still alive - seeing mostly race action.

I'd buy Eagle again for sure. Check their kits, you can get the Eagle crank and rods with JE or SRP pistons in one heck of a deal for most SBC combos. That would be a very stout bottom end.

I have a friend that sells it as a dealer and races it exclusively in his super gas class drag cars. He hasn't had any problems with their stuff at least nothing he wants to tell me anyways

Its good enough for NA stroker and modest Hp applications. For blown and other applications making 600+ hp I would go with Callies, Lunatis or others. To me theres just something about the way them Chinese makes stuff over there in the homeland. I've been there and seen it first hand....
