Default Strokers for a 351W

I'm finally getting a chance to tear down the 5.8 in my Mach 1, and build it however I choose. The build starts in April, so I have to start deciding what Im putting into it, starting with the rotating assembly. Im thinking about Eagle's 408 forged kit, .030 over. Anyone had experiece with it?? Any suggestions on other options for a stroker?? Thanks!

Ive actually been given the rare opportunity to work with a master machinist and top fuely builder of 20 years, so I'll be building this motor up from the original block. Besides that, its just more fun to build my own!!

here is my eagle 408W, 4.00" stroker crankshaft. it looks to be of good quality. it is not a forged crank though, but im sure the quality for the forged piece would be even better. (the bottom crank is an eagle 331)
