Must be the name of who sells the kit makes them better than some of the other low buck stroker kits out there. There all the same, diamond, ross, or keith black pistons , unnamed h-beamed rods and crank . I must say that is a good deal. How much for a balance job?
No , it's alot more than just who is selling it , and if you think they are all the same then you should just buy the cheapest ...
sometimes i wonder if people really believe that stuff, or is it true that rationalization is man's best friend?

These stroker kits come unbalanced as you may have your machine shop do additional work. However, they can be ordered balanced for an additional $300. Thanks. Mancini Racing 800-843-2821 www.manciniracing.com

I hope that's a REAL balance job for that amount and not the typical use the number on the box and ASSuME the maker is telling the truth and actually has the parts within their own specs ?
If not then this is why I say buying prebalanced is waste of money.

Bob, If you reread my post, it say's , diamond, ross, keith black pistons and unnamed crank and rods. All names of different piston manufactures that supply pistons to those kits, not that there the same manufacturer, there might be more also. Regarding the no name crank and rods, who is the supplier of those? could be eagle, scat , cat or dog .  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

I was looking at the same kit as i'll be making a decision on a 493 stroker kit in a week or so.....I spoke w/ my machinist/engine builder and he says thats WAY cheaper than what he can get Eagle kits for.
I called mancini racing and inquired why this kit was so cheap and it was explained that the rods are chevy sized (2.20) which brings the price down considerably. Also there is no balance on it (all the better). the only difference that I can see is that the Pistons are Diamond and not SRP like in the Eagle direct kits.
components as stated from the web site:
MANCINI - 493 ci 440 Flattop piston Stroker Kit
Kit includes: Diamond flat top lightweight forged pistons wit .990 pin and Diamond moly piston ring set. Eagle 4340 forged crank with 2.200" rod journal. Eagle ESP H-Beam rods. Clevite Tri metal rod and main bearing set.
$1,450.00
MRE440-493-FLAT
i'm i missing something? it sounds like a craigs list scam. or is this a no brainer, cause the timing couldn't be better.......

DRAM, what are you saying? Do you like or dislike Eagle stuff? Some of your post is why I would never buy an Eagle product.
i'd be happy to answer that, but it's not really a yes or no answer regarding Eagle parts. i don't want to take this thread off target unless the O/P gives his blessing.

DRAM, I'd like to hear your experience with Eagle products, good or bad. Not all of us build motors on a regular bases and look to these forums for research on what works and doesn't.....thanks. 
This was my experience with an Eagle crank... Granted it was cast but I highly doubt my little 408 was pushing 500+ hp. Not knocking the crank itself, I feel they overrated it's capabilities, but I am knocking their customer service. With other manufacturers out there, it's enough for me not to buy Eagle again. For the record, the eagle and scat cranks are not the same. The RPM's, however, look just like the scats.

Must of had your fan belt to tight. Isn't eagle supposed to be the best of the lower priced cranks? Never seen a crank break on the front.
I'd run a scat before I'd run an Eagle. And that's without the issues I had. One of the journals on this crank was tapered and went under the low. I had correct clearance though and I had to wait weeks to get this crank so I ran it. The pistons hit the counterweights and the pilot bushing hole is an odd size.

I have used several of those kits and have never had an issue. The only thing that I had done was skin the crank to get the clearance I wanted.
