its not really a steal or anything. but reasonably priced. the guy who is going to balance and assemble the rotating assembly, kim barr of kim barr racing engines, for my 408 told me that he prefers the scat cranks over the eagles and usually has to machine the eagles quite a bit to make them work, so i am using a 4340 scat crank and ealge rods.

those are 500 dollar pistons, 500 or 600 dollar crank not sure on the rod costs??

seems sort of high to me if you compare to PAW prices and i wouldn't want an 11to1 comp ratio, he's not really giving you all that much for 1500bucks
