Eagle Ford 302 3.400in Crank 5.400in I-Beam Rods 4.030in 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 assembly is designed for pump gas, naturally aspirated applications, making it a great choice for daily drivers or weekend cruisers that you want to give a bit more life to. Getting the balance right from the start saves a lot of headaches down the road.

Eagle has put together a well-built package here. It starts with a 3.400-inch cast crankshaft, paired with 5.400-inch I-beam connecting rods that feature 3/8-inch ARP 8740 bolts for strong, reliable connections. For the pistons, you get forged 4032 Mahle flat-tops with a -6cc dish, sized at 4.030 inches, and they come with plasma-moly file-fit rings. This means you can tailor the ring gap precisely to your engine's needs. King SI rod and main bearings are included to ensure smooth rotation, and the assembly also comes with a Pioneer damper and a 157-tooth flywheel, all balanced as a complete unit.

This assembly is balanced from the factory, which is crucial for a smooth-running engine and helps reduce vibration. Keep in mind that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on assembly and break-in procedures.
