Eagle Chevy 454 Tall Deck 4.500in Crank 6.660in H-Beam 18cc Dome 4.350in Pistons Balanced Assembly

If you're building a high-performance Chevy 454 Tall Deck engine, especially for racing applications, a balanced rotating assembly like this one from Eagle is a critical starting point. This assembly includes everything you need to get your bottom end built right, ensuring reliability and power under demanding conditions. It's designed to handle the stresses of racing, including nitrous and forced induction setups, making it a solid choice for serious engine builders.

Eagle has put together a well-built package here. You get a forged 4340 steel crankshaft with a 4.500-inch stroke, paired with 6.660-inch H-beam connecting rods. These rods are strong and come with 7/16-inch ARP 8740 bolts, which are a significant upgrade for holding power. The pistons are forged 2618 aluminum with an 18cc dome, designed to work with the crank and rod combination for a 4.350-inch bore size. They also include plasma-moly file-fit rings, giving you flexibility during assembly. To top it off, King XP series rod and main bearings are included, known for their durability and performance in high-stress environments.

This assembly comes balanced from Eagle, which is a huge time and labor saver. Getting a rotating assembly professionally balanced is crucial for engine longevity and smooth operation, especially at higher RPMs. This kit is intended for competition use and is not CARB approved, meaning it cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper assembly and break-in procedures.
