Default Eagles new 4.8/5.3 stroker kits

Eagle has a new stroker kit for the 4.8/5.3s. Nets you 363cid with a 3.800" bore,4.00"stroke and a 6.125" rod. Pretty interesting I thought. Wonder how that would do with a 2.3 whipple........

The link doesn't directly show it. I had to search, so I screen shot and clipped it.

IMO, I think most people that will spend that kind of money are gonna do so with a larger block.

Keep in mind you can also take a 5.3 block to a 383 ci.

Not everyone will put that kind of money into these 5.3 4.8 blocks these days. Still interested in how well they can do with a longer stroke.

i'd take the dependabily of a stock stroke myself. strokers seem like they usually end with a headache. and hasnt the quality of eagle been called out in the last few years?

I certainly don't see a reason. Sell the stock 4.8 or 5.3 get a bare 6.0 block and heads. More power same or less money.

I agree, but have to say Eagle is in everything thing now. Even some big end marine builds guys are using Eagle, those get BEAT on, still seem to hold up . My machine guy says he would take Scat stuff over Eagle all day though.
