I am soooo BENT right now!! I ordered stock length rods in November 2010 for a 383. Well, I checked status on my Eagle rods and this is the crap I hear. I just spoke with Eagle again, they are saying its going to be 90-110 days until those are ready to ship. The reason being they only make "enough" for a year since they are not in high demand, and at this point they are sold out and the next batch will be ready in the 100 days or so. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that length is common with a 2.20 journal but not with a B engine journal...

Well its official! Eagle emailed me today and confirmed "Earlier" this week management "Discontinued" the rod that I purchased last year and have been waiting for. Don't buy them cause they aren't available anymore. So much for satisfied customers! After all this waiting a fellow member on TTF found a set and posted a link soooo I bought the last set. Hopefully my other vendor will refund my money.

Some pics of progress. Intercooler upper bracket fabbed ready to paint. REAL TIGHT but no touchy anywhere. Work'n on the lower bracket now. Had to enlarge the hole in the radiator support a bit. Will hammer & dolly around the hole to straighten it up before repainting. Also got the sump in and tank mounted. Now gotta figure out where the fuel pump and filter go. Since the hotside is on the passenger side I will run it up the driverside.

I forgot to mention I did swap the left and right spindles and moved the calipers to the rear. No problems with the sway-bar now. Front-end is completed as well as the rear.
RODS ARE HERE!! Now off to the machinist. Hopefully this won't take long and I can assemble the engine!

Got a call from the machinist Friday telling me my 400 was done. Went Saturday to pick it up and after it was loaded in the truck I noticed that the stock main bolts were in it?? Of course the owner of the machine shop was in Dallas racing so no one to gripe at. After I tore the bag open then is when I seen that the mains had NOT been line-honed nor was my girdle fitted. S^O^B!!!! I am speechless!! Going on 5 months at the machinist!! [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]!

Find a new machinist. I can give you a killer Mopar guy but he's on the north side of Ft Worth.

If you need someone good, contact Les Adams. He builds some of the best Mopar stuff in the area. He's done stuff for our club racers and I've had him do some minor work for me.

Not much to update but, I picked up a set of L19 Rod bolts for the Eagle rods. Had to call the machinist today since I haven't heard from them in a week. Supposed to be ready Wednesday?? I need to finish the DP where it splits to duals then I can send them to the blasters. Got the front half of the fuel system done to the firewall. Need 4 6an 90's to get it to the carb..
Hopefully I can find a reputable machinist close to finalize the balancing of the rotating assy. and can get started with the engine build.
I might be coming to the downhill side of this! Yippeeee!
STAY TUNED!!!!! MORE TO COME!!
