I plan on building a new 540 Whipple charged motor for my 25 Daytona and would like advice on crank / rod selection. I expect to run race gas and build 900-950hp. 9:1 compression / 10# boost. I realize that I can just select top of the line parts without worries, however I don't necessarily want to overkill the the internals if I do not have to. BTW, I will be selling my complete long block HP500EFI (Pan to flame arrestor (no accessories or exhaust) if anyone has interest.
Choices are:
1. eagle/eagle
2. callies/manley
3. crower/crower billet
4. other???
Here are the components that I have selected so far:
Super Charger - 3.3 liter intercooled EFI Whipple
Block - Dart Big M w/ billet caps
Heads - AFR 335/121 CNC port
CAM - Crane 651
Pistons - JE flat top
Oil Pump - Moroso pro billet
Thanks in advance

If you are buying the blower from Dustin, I betcha he could pick all the parts for you. For this motor, I would not be using any eagle parts. Also, do a search under the tech section for a thread on the new AFR heads. It was very interesting.

I would not use the Moroso Billet oil pump. The small screws that hold on the pick-up are a weak point. My pick up cracked and I threw the Moroso pump out.
