building a 383 Stroker with Factory parts help needed
My shop (and most of them) charge $100 to balance a crank and assy. Built a 451, had a crank shop turn down a 440 crank and cut the counterweights to clear the block, plus re grind all journals to .010 under, ($400) Bought a used forged crank and rods (175) Bought Ross pistons (600), then running around (100). So that's $1375 for a balanced assembly. Oh yeah, assemble pistons to rods, $25. So 1400 and alot of time. You can do it on the cheap if you have access to the machine shops. I'm in Denver, so wasn't a problem. You being in St George, prob should just order the kit since you don't have the shops nearby.
