Experiences in crankshafts and connecting rods ???

[Carsten]

Ok, just for getting some informations from all over the world about 2 important things inside an engine :
Crankshaft and rods . What experiences did you have with the type of crank and rods you used ?
There are so many different cranks and rods on the market 
In my last engine there was a SCAT crank with Carillos inside , so that was good... but expensive...
So what did you out there use and what experiences did you make after driving street ...strip ?
Engine combo will be 82 or 84 stroke , H-beam rods , with 94mm bore.
This is what manufactures i found:
SCAT
EMPI
Bugpack
Demello
DPR
DRD
crank and rods from lowbugget.com
Gene Berg...uuuuuhhh $$$$$

Hi Carsten,

The new billet cranks from Scat and Bugpack are really nice. You could have them on display above your fireplace. Regarding rods, why not use any rod you like combined with Carrilo SPS bolts?

When i understand it right , such a crank i should put on display next to my broken cam and the exploded piston , but not put into an engine ?
So , what did u use ?

I use a Scat crank with a wedgemate from DK Machine, scat H beam rods with ARP 2000 rod bolts. Worked well so far;

There is really no need to purchase the SPS Carrillo Rod Bolts, lest you are apt to throwing around money.

Try ARP's link for their replacement bolts. No I do not mean ARP 2000 bolts. http://www.arp-bolts.com/catalog/Catalog.PDF/ARPCatalog_0035.pdf

Perform a Meta Search on the web (Dogpile, IXquick or Google) for suppliers of ARP connecting rod bolts.

Have Fun,

Demello or DPR are very good and price is not to bad. A set of Eagle rods if you can find them are very good also. Have use them all. Rimco Super rods work well too.
