Eagle Ford 302 3.250in Crank 5.400in I-Beam Rod -10cc 4.000in Pistons 157 Tooth FW Balanced Assembly

If you're rebuilding the heart of your Ford 302 for street use, a balanced rotating assembly like this one from Eagle is a solid foundation. This setup is designed for pump gas and naturally aspirated applications, making it a great choice for a street-driven vehicle that you want to perform reliably without needing exotic fuel.

Eagle has put together a well-built package here. It starts with a 3.250-inch cast crankshaft, paired with 5.400-inch I-beam connecting rods. These rods are secured with 3/8-inch ARP 8740 bolts, which are a strong choice for street performance. The assembly includes Hypereutectic KB pistons with an inverted dome design, sized for a 4.000-inch bore, and they come with plasma-moly file-fit rings, giving you control over the ring gap for your specific build. For smooth operation, it features King rod and main bearings, and the whole assembly is balanced. You also get a Pioneer damper and a 157-tooth flywheel, so you have key components ready to go.

This balanced assembly takes the guesswork out of matching critical rotating components. By having them balanced together from the start, you ensure smoother engine operation and reduced stress on your crankshaft and bearings. Remember, this assembly is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper assembly and break-in procedures.
