    At least with crankshafts you know its not child labor----

    We use mostly Callies stuff , but do use an occasional Eagle if thats what the customer wants or fits the budget.
    Moving to China to avoid the EPA ! That is not the right thing to do. They should have found a way to make them here and pushed their product as made in USA !
    Should sell like hotcakes.

    Are there any cranks made here in the USA for his application ?
    That was ,I believe his question

    Hi,
    You can get Crower, Kellog, Callies are US.
    I hate to admit it but almost all of the budget stroker kits have "off shore" crank & rods. I have a 3" crower lite weight crank that cost me over $2200.00, Crower rods $800.00+. Speed parts are expensive but Eagle & Scat have greatly reduced the cost of stroker kits & engines today...
