Alright, I'm just wondering what I need to buy. I have an 2003 Mustang GT 281. I'm having a hard time finding an Eagle crank suitable for my engine. I don't know if I could buy a 302 crank and use that in my build, or what to do.

Where can I find an Eagle crank for a 281 engine? Thanks.

You sure?
I know they're both 281's, I just don't want to throw money away.

Get either a stock stroke forged Cobra crank (Kellogg Crankshafts) or a 3.75" Mod stroker crank if you wanna increase cubes. We have made over 1500hp on both of these Kellogg forged cranks.

Summit sells the forged Eagle crank, thats where I got mine from. Supposed to be 22% stronger than the cobra crank.

a Cobra crank will handle more power than you'll ever make. no need to go with an Eagle.

Just being sure..
I've got all forged internals (with the exception of crank). Novi 2200 blower, going to be running 15-20psi.

We think a stock Cobra crank could withstand that?

yes, i think so. Even in a cobra, if something breaks from power levels, it wouldn't be the crankshaft

ive seen ppl in stock long block cobras run 21-23psi and they are fine, so i dont think 15-20 should be a problem with a centri style blower..
