If you're diving into the world of performance engines, you’ve probably heard of Eagle Crankshafts. These bad boys are built tough and won’t break the bank. I’ve had my hands on a few of these cranks, and let me tell you, they’re forged with some serious care. The non-twist forging process really sets them apart, and when you combine that with a multi-stage heat treatment, stress relieving, shot peening, and nitriding, you know you’re getting something that can handle some serious power.

Every journal is micropolished to a 3 or better R.A., which means you’re getting a smooth finish that helps with oil flow and overall engine efficiency. Plus, the 0.125" radius on all journals boosts strength, so you’ll need to grab some chamfered bearings for a perfect fit. If you’re building something that’s pushing up to 1500 horsepower, this crankshaft is a solid choice.

Now, if you’re looking to shave off a few pounds for that lightweight build, Eagle also offers a 'Lightweight' version. They’ve knife-edged the counterweights, which can typically reduce the weight by about 5-6 lbs. Every little bit counts when you’re chasing that extra performance.

For those who might not need the full-on forged option, Eagle’s cast steel crankshafts are a great alternative to stock cranks. They’re designed with all radii at .092", so you can stick with OE-style bearings. They’re good for up to 500hp, which is plenty for many street builds, and they come with a target bobweight that’s guaranteed to be within +/- 2%. They’re also set up for a 28 in-oz. external balance, making installation a breeze.
