Some things that some people donot know is that, Eagle,Scat, Compustar are all Chinese forgings. The difference is that they are Heat treated and machined here in the USA. I think that Callies has the best operation going as far as quality control of what's happening inside the shop. Eagle has had problems in the past with quality control IE not conforming to said measurements. Callies has a better quality control in my opinion. Scat i think is very good, in fact i have one of their 4" small b/lk cranks in my 434" motor, i also have 2 Eagles running. Now i do have issues with Scat and their customer service. As some of you know i sell parts to on the side to supplement my income (SS) (not on RJ word of mouth) i have a number of Scat flex plates SFI approved about 1/2 of them run out up to 1/4" at the ring gear. I messagened Scat about this problem over 2 weeks ago, i'm stuck with them and they will not even answer my email. It's not a lot of money but i wouldn't want to have serious problems with something like a crank or any other high dollar piece from them.

Wow that was a good deal! I just checked out Lunati web sight and their cheapest sbc crank is $700.
When I bought my Altered it had a sbc 434 with a Lunati Pro Series crank,they sell for $1,900. I've had on problems what so ever with the whole engine,she runs excellent! Regular maintenance is a hugh factor.
A bbc crank runs $800. to $1,900 check them out at www.lunatipower.com

APPRECIATE ALL THAT HAVE REPLIED SO FAR. STILL HAVE NOT COMPLETELY MADE MY MIND UP, ESPICIALLY ON BUYING A COMPLETE CRATE MOTOR. DONT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO BUILD ONE PERSONALLY BUT IT SEEMS SOME OF THESE CRATE ENGINE COMPANIES ARE OUT OF SIGHT ON THEIR LABOR. THINKING AROUND 800-1000 SHOULD BE MORE LIKE IT TO ASSEMBLE A BBC.
