Eagle Ford 302 3.000in Crank 5.090in I-Beam Rods 4.030in Pistons 164 Tooth FP Balanced Assembly

What you get in this balanced rotating assembly is a brand new Eagle 3.000-inch crankshaft, a set of 5.090-inch I-beam connecting rods, and 4.030-inch pistons, all balanced for a 164-tooth automatic transmission application. This is a serious upgrade for anyone looking to rebuild or significantly enhance their Ford 302 engine. A balanced rotating assembly is crucial because it ensures all the major moving parts within your engine's bottom end are properly weighted relative to each other. This reduces vibration, allows the engine to rev more freely, and puts less stress on bearings and seals over time.

Eagle is known for making well-built engine components, and this assembly is no exception. The I-beam connecting rods are a strong choice for many performance builds, offering a good balance of strength and weight. The crankshaft is forged, which means it's incredibly durable and can handle the stresses of higher horsepower applications. Having the assembly professionally balanced from the factory means you're starting with a solid foundation, saving you time and the cost of a separate balancing service. This is a key step when building a performance engine, as an unbalanced assembly can lead to premature wear and reduced power output.

When you're installing a complete rotating assembly like this, it's important to have all your measurements double-checked by a machine shop. This includes checking piston-to-wall clearance, ring gap, and bearing clearances. You'll also need to ensure you have the correct gaskets, seals, and oil for your specific build. Remember, this assembly is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
