the only major differences are the rods and piston rings. unless your making 400+ horses then i wouldn't worry about it

The only major difference is the connecting rods. Crowers are rated to 700HP, but the Eagles are only rated at 400HP by Eagle. However, most feel this to be a very conservative estimate. They have been run in higher HP applications with no ill effects, from what i have heard.

hey Dyno I know that you chose the hahn setup. What did u get piston,rings,rods what else did you buy from them. Do they sell it as a kit or just by parts and then you bought the other parts seperate.

why dont ya grab some weisco pistons and rings from rageengineering.com like 400$ for pistons and rings grab some eagles i doubt u cant break them,
cl 77 rod bearings and the rest of the parts for a rebuild...
lower and upper gasket kit and such ew oil pump if u want and water pump etc...
You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.

not sure the cheapest pistons are from raceeng.com i bleive they give u a deal if u ask for it and get rods and pistons i talked to somone who got their pistons like 50$ cheaper since they bought rods their too give it a shot, id bet money u wont break the weisco pistons or eagle rods they are nice products,
howells bottom end kit is nice but i prefer weisco pistons because ive used them for so long,
the bottom end gasket kit is like 35$ or so through forum dodge the upper end gasket set head gasket and all is like 85$
bearings like 25$ for rod bearings (clevite) and like 30$ or so for mains and then like 8$ for rear main seal
u can get an oil pump if u choose to replace it at schucks or napa for under 80$ i think the water pump is cheap from their also,
might as well change the timing belt while your in there grab one of those dayco/good year gator back/ oem whatever
that and like a case of oil u should be good
if your unsure ona good way to break ina forged piston motor u could pm me or hit me on aim and i can tell u a good way to get those rings seated

You won't break the eagles. Gary said they will hold right up to 700hp with the proper rod bolts. I think Jojo calos uses them in his car. Both Gary and darkone believe they will hold my goal of squeezing 650 HP out of this motor someday. I've never used wiesco pistons but I know they are big with the detroit muscle guy's.

Wiesco pistons are also big with the off-road (motorcycles) people. I ran a Wiesco piston in my LT250R suzuki (250cc 2-stroke race motor) and it ran like a champ without problems. although my dad did pop the motor (i'm not sure it was the piston that went) when he ran pump gas in it instead of my usual 100 octane stuff.. hehe.. doh! (this was before I bought it from him) but he said the thing was pinging all day long before it went.. so I guess that means that'd be a hella strong piston to ping all day in a built 2-stroke motor running high compression and high revs.
