Eagle Crankshaft 4.5in Stroke 2.2" Rod Pin 8 Bolt Flange Chrysler RB 1965-1978
$1157.99

If you’re serious about building a solid engine, you’ve gotta check out these Eagle Crankshafts. They’re not just any crank—these bad boys are forged from 4340 steel and go through a rigorous heat treatment process that really cranks up their strength and reliability. We’re talking about a non-twist forging that’s stress relieved, shot peened, and nitrided. Yeah, it sounds technical, but what it means is that they’re built to handle some serious power without flinching.

Every journal is micropolished to a 3 or better R.A., which is a fancy way of saying they’re super smooth. And here’s a neat trick: they use a 0.125" radius on all journals to boost strength. Just a heads up, though—you’ll need to grab some chamfered bearings to go along with it. These cranks are designed for internal balance and can handle applications pushing up to 1500 horsepower. So if you’re looking to build something that can really haul, this is your ticket.

But wait, there’s more! If you’re looking to shave off some weight, Eagle’s got lightweight versions where the counterweights are knife-edged, cutting down on windage and typically dropping 5-6 lbs. off the total weight. Every little bit helps when you’re aiming for that perfect build.

If you’re not quite ready to go full forged, Eagle also offers cast steel crankshafts. They’re a solid alternative to stock cranks, with all radii set to .092" so you can stick with OE-style bearings. They’re good for up to 500hp and are designed for 28 in-oz. external balance, making them a great choice for those who want reliability without breaking the bank.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
