I bought an Eagle forged kit ( 354, which is a 347 with .070" more stroke) a couple of years ago. I built the short block and installed a pair of the cheap heads. I took my Cobra to a dyno shop in Memphis, Tenn for test and tuning. It made 323 rwhp. A year later I called Keith Craft and told him what I had and what I wanted. "A street motor that would not embarrass me at the red light". I bought a pair of his Brodix heads and a custom KC Comp cam. Took it back to Memphis and dyno'ed 402 rwhp and 416 tq. Best money I have ever spend.
Lots of low end torque, great for driving on the street, any gear is a passing gear.
My advice is to call Keith, tell him what you want and how you are going to use the car. You can buy from him because his prices are very fair, cam was $50 cheaper from him. His products and service are the best!


Oh yea, I'm running Ford fuel injection. With a 20% drivetrain loss, my motor is making about 500 at the flywheel. Not bad for a motor that I drive to Ohio and back.
