318 with 360 crank-another peeing contest

Hopefully this will be a photo and commentary build. Thanks for all the input. Why do some of you think I'll be using used pistons? I'm CHEAP but not that cheap. Scat has a crank that is new and reasonable. One is on the way for $324. I have a boatload of older open chamber heads. To make them work on anything they need pistons with more compression built in. Most of us can afford a new crank. It is cost effective compared to having one turned by the time you add the travel time to the machine shop and the waiting to get it done. I've read many of your posts about having to wait on a machinest to get the job done. Same here in this area. Good machinests are far and few between. Getting the boring done is almost always a wait. Adding a crank to the mix triples the wait. Seems they can't multitask or something. If I live long enough I will own most of the machinery to do my own machining. Crank grinder is cost prohibitive though.I already have the valve grinder and I'm not afraid of using it. Been doing 3 angle valve jobs with it for 30 years or so. Have access to a Neway cutter set for real cheap. If an old boring bar comes up for cheap it will also be in the garage. Most of us can find what we need to buy within 10 miles from home. I found my Dart a mile away. Had been looking at all the local ads up to 100 miles away and this one popped up on the radar. It is out there and close to home. Most people who have stuff don't know someone is looking for it. Getting a seller and a buyer(us) together is the problem.

Crap! Now I'm being the Rambling Ranter I didn't want to attract.

Sorry guys.
