BigTex Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Brand new parts. I bought these a couple of months back but haven't done anything with them. My plans have changed, so there is no need to keep these parts stored in my garage. Details: Eagle 4" stroker crank Custom ordered 4.030" Diamond forged pistons Eagle ESP H beam 6.125" connecting rods Diamond Pro select piston rings Federal Mogul bearings ARP Rod bolts I bought all these items new from ARE www.agostino-racing.com - I had the parts balanced and machined by ARE before shipping them. The complete rotating assembly is ready to install, all that is needed is a 6 liter block bored .030 over. I bought these parts with a good discount applied for $2300. These same parts total over $2400 from Thunder Racing without the added labor and materials of balancing. Pistons have -5cc valve reliefs in them to allow for big cams and keep the CR at a decent level. With a stock head and gasket, it will be right at 10.7:1 compression ratio. Parts should easily handle 600rwhp+. With the right mods, expect a conservative 450 hp and tq without a power adder. I'd like to sell these for what I have in it, which is $2300. I'll split the shipping with the buyer. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTex Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I couldn't pass up on the Radix. Problem was, I had already been collecting things for a stroker. Sooooo, it was decision time for me. I'm going for the Radix first. Diamond earrings for the wife or Diamond pistons for the truck. Play it safe and get both.

ctrow Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 So Richard, what was the reasoning behind you changing your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted December 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I've got a Radix sitting in my garage. I don't have the time lately to build a motor and install it myself (which I want to do), but I do have time to plop on a Radix. Basically comes down to "I want some more power NOW". I think the stroker would be best in the long run, but I'm impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtodd82 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 How hard would this be to put on. i would love to get this, but if its something that requires several special tools, and expert mechanic abilities, i wouldnt want to pay the labor charges. thanks for any help.

BigTex Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Thanks Erik and Ben. I'm suprised as well. As soon as you guys or Jeff starts really tearing up the streets the 408 will become a popular choice. Vtodd- this doesn't sound like the mod for you. You'll need to have a machine shop prep your block. I'd also suggest that you pay a professional to do the main build. Most handy guys can get the motor swaped in and out without paying someone or having a bunch or specialty tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not too deep into the technical info for our engine internals. Boy id like to say its a 408stroker though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling, disassembly, reassembly and install should run another $500-750 I'd think. (10 or so shop hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
