I saw a post from Fast420A that mentioned the bottom end kit from Howell Automotive...

Can someone please compare this kit to the Stage 3 upgrade from Hahn?

Howell kit:
Clevite 77 Rod Bearing Set
Clevite 77 Main Bearing Set
Total Seal Piston Rings
Mopar Oil Pan Gasket Set (includes rear main seal)
Melling Oil Pump
Eagle Specialty Forged Rods
JE Pistons (Specify 8.6 , 10.5 or 12.5 compression)

Hahn kit:
JE Pistons/rings/wrist pins
Crower rods

It seems like the Howell kit is alot more complete, my main concern is the Eagle rods, are they comparable to the Crower rods?

TIA

Also, I having a little trouble getting the hahn folk to reply to an e-mail. :\
