Re: Which one's the better engine?

Cast steel cranks from Eagle and Scat are about 20% stronger than the factory cast iron cranks. Plus they have a larger radius on the journal fillet=more strength. Check out the engine forum. There have been SEVERAL posts on the 383 builds. Bill is very good with his desktop dyno. And everyone here that has experience building these engines will be more than happy to assist you with any info.
