I'd like to find a better rod than Eagle/Scat but it seems that no one is making them anymore so I wanted to see if you guys knew of any other options.
If I didn't already have the 4.15 Callies crank and Diamond pistons I'd look to change stroke or move to longer rod (Hemi) and change the pin height on a piston, but it't too late for that.
I may have no choice but to go Aluminum if I want something better than Eagle/Scat. I understand Scat is making a pretty good rod for up to 1,000hp and this motor will make less than that but it's going in my KB block and I'd rather put a better rod in it if I can find one.
No availability for any of these manufactures 6.76 w/ .990 pin:
Crower - $1,800 - no stock no plans
Oliver - $1,300 - no stock no plans
Lunati - $? - no stock no plans
Carrillo - $? - no stock no plans
Howards - $? - no stock no plans
Manley - $? - no stock no plans
Help?

You can still possibly offset grind the crank to 2.200 bearing, 4.270 stroke, use the common 6.7 long 2.200 bearing x .990 pin rods. Rod availability is now good, bearings are a touch cheaper, and you have fourteen more cubes. You could possibly go to 4.25 stroke and use custom gaskets to make up the .010 minus deck height, if you want a common combo.

I mentioned Molnar above, but the OP said he doesn't consider them any better than SCAT.

We have used tons and tons of Molnar rods and I can tell you, the finished product from Molnar far exceeds the quality of Scat rods. I know they both start out as Chinese rods but the quality is much better on the Molnar and we have several sets in pretty stout bracket engines ( over 1000hp ) and I know of several sets in higher hp turbo cars. I think you'd be happy with the rods from Tom Molnar.

ok, sounds like I need to re-consider Compstar and Molnar rods.
I wished Callies would make an Ultra H-Beam for Mopar, I'm hearing Chevy builders are really impressed with them and hearing that some Oliver rod are having some issues which never used to happen.
I'm only going to make 850 or less HP so I know Eagle, Scat, Molnar and Compstars would do all I need just thought I'd look into a better rod for a little more insurance and be able to run them for 3,000 passes and not worry about them (since I'm putting them in my KB block), other than to change the bolt every now and then.
Thanks for the help guys!

If you really like that rod then I would do the math with the pistons you have and turn down the crank and adjust the stroke to use on of those rods, probably end up costing close to the same as a big dollar rod for a mopar journal ?
