I have a couple of questions on this.

Whose rotating assembly are you using? And what do you think of Eagle assemblies?

What CR are you running? Looking at Eagle assemblies, looks like they have a -28cc dished piston and a -19 dished cc piston. That would place me at about 9.8CR or 10.8CR. I'm thinking a custom cam with a 10.8 CR might run really well.

i have a 347 stroker so i'm not much help on the 408 kits but i would definitely build it with the 10.8 (if not a bit more) compression if you are going to be naturally aspirated.

Scat and Eagle are both very good. Only thing I have heard about the eagle stuff is it may be a tad harder to balance and the finish might not be quite as good. But only a few have said that. Built a big block with eagle stuff and it was nice. I wouldn't be afraid to use one again at all. Best price I could find was adperformance.com. Scat assembly, probe pistons, with vic jr 60c heads I have just over 10-1. Definately go custom cam! Do NOT go with a ots cam here. For a little bit of money, it is REALLY worth it. I have had very good luck with Ed at FTI on the hyd roller stuff. I am currently switching over though to a CI solid roller. Can't wait.

I got mine from ford strokers, which is a Coast High Performance kit. Custom cam from Jay Allen (highly recomend him), 10.4:1 compression. Jay actually set up my entire top end: heads, cam, intake, and valve trane. it will scream if done right. I would lean toward Scat instead of Eagle out of those two.

Ditto whats been said, go scat over Eagle. Not much of a price difference. You can also check out Probe Industries stuff.

We did Flat tops on ours with AFR 205's.

scat is the best in my opinion, I got my 408 kit from AD performance, balanced perfectly, fit and finish was perfect and I only needed to clearance the oil pump slightly to clear the crank. Pistons in the kit were probe, high quality bearings and rings too.

Scat was good for my engine also, its what I run in my 65 also. Was send as a zero balance crank, but still took quite a bit of heavy metal to balance.

I really don't think there is a best, or to say a clear cut winner between the two. The amount of scat and eagle out there is enormous. I would put more research and consideration on who builds it. Obviously both can me made to last a long time.

Thanks for all the responses. Also looks like I should check out AD Performance.

I am running SCAT internals in my 408w, SCAT is the way to go. low compression though 9.5:1 (waiting to add the blower), I also have a custom grind cam. It seems to do the trick! car weighs right around 2750lbs without me in it!

The radiator is a dual core universal one from Summit Racing. It just squeezes between the frame rails. But no more over heating problems!
