building a 383 Stroker with Factory parts help needed

pishta said

The cost to turn down a cast 440 crank's mains AND clearance the throws to fit the 383 PLUS a balance job will be more than a new cast stroker crank and a balance. If your going forged, ask yourself why would a forged be needed. B/RB cranks are tough.

Agreed...I called my local Machine Shop and they wanted $300 to cut the crank and the CW’s...not bad I thought...then they want another $600 to balance it!!!

So now I’m back at buying a complete kit and it’s balanced!!!

It really is cheaper Like everyone is saying... I’ve looked at every angle on this to beat the kit prices and you can’t do it!!
