The eagle cranks I have used were for stock application builds so they held up for me. Anything beyond that you are probably better off with the Scat. I have had big money custom forged cranks from Kenne Bell before for my Buick engines but the block failed first so I guess it comes down to what you are doing with it. Just my two cents worth,well maybe one with inflation LOL

I have a rpm forged 4340 steel crank with 4.250 stroke going in my 390 stroker.
Went with scat rods.
I no it took at lot of Malory to balance, hopping its up to the task?
I expect my ford block to surrender first if the hp gets to high.
It's only a 2 bolt main block but I have fitted a main cap girdle.
I was reluctant to go past the scat cast as by all accounts it's a great crank at a good price.
Time will tell..
