Bc or eagle rods?

[JStoked]

Ok I'm ordering all my things to do my rebuild. Money really isn't a problem. So witch are better bc or eagle rods? I have cp pistons and clevet bearings on the way. I'm just stuck on the rods I want. And yes apr rod bolts are coming to. Going for 500 hp.

Never had experience with either.

But the bc rods seem nice but given the fact about the problems with there cams idk if i would buy them

Eagles have a huge rep and have been used hunfreds of times. There good for 500 and more but if your shooting for 1k go with something else.

Both come with arp but if you order eagles make sure they come with the bigger bolts as there is 2 sizes.

Ok thanks man. And 1k is way more than what I'm shooting for.

Ummm..... The new Eagles with the upgraded rod bolts are rated at 1500hp....

Are they still made in China ?
If so, I'd use Real Crower, not Brat Crower (also out of china), or Pauter.
(if money is no object)

True, Eagles have a good rep, but why continue to sell our souls to china ?

If you don't want our goods produced in China, rethink your political votes and commentary. Not you in particular, but for all.

I'm using Pauter rods, IJ advised me against using Eagle rods: "not a big fan". Although the new upgraded ones might be better.

I used Eagles in my build and I have nothing but praise. They all balanced out really nicely and were plenty strong for the power I was making with my 7M which was well beyond the 500HP goal the OP has.

I was just respecting the opinion of my "Mentor".

You could also check Rich @ SIP, a misc vender on here. While you're at it add an ATI Super Damper--well worth the money, then figure out what clutch- flywheel combo you want to use and get the crank spin balanced with the flywheel and ATI.

Ooo very nice idea!!! Thank you very much for the that Info.

Ok man that sounds good but I live in Oklahoma bunch of rednecks that are ford and chevy junkies. Any ideas to where I should send the crank and all to have it all balanced?

That's cool, I grew up with a bunch of Ford, Chevy, Mopar and even Studebaker junkies back in Indiana. Some times I think there's nothing like the BIG V8's.

Call Rich at SIP. He can knife edge, polish, nitrite and spin balance the crank.
