Around here grinding a stock type crank is about double what you’re paying....... not including magnaflux, which I’d absolutely do on a crank that had bearings that looked like what came out if that motor.

Retail from Summit on a Scat cast 4” crank is $375, shipped free.

So, in my area, the added expense to run the 4” crank is less than $200 compared to a mag and grind.

What Jesse is going to use for pistons are way lighter than factory, so the crank will need balancing anyway.

Balance will be cheaper based on removing weight and not adding mallory.
If the guy grinding is good, the machine is serviced, and he gets them done quick...he can make plenty of money doing them at 90 ea. That's magd.
I used to have beans do them, 120.00 with acl bearings... Jesse was the grinder but he went on to rep for clevite/maul and makes way more money than he did grinding. The place was sold/obsorbed by the nextdoor shop and the prices went up..and we all took our **** to Rick's in santee or mesa in escondido who have been in biz there since 1946. there .machine tech,mjm, total per'ford'nce, JBA, a ton of places... but they either over charge and dont call or advice to what they do...or they are just young guys with heads/egos bigger than their brand new machines. People set records with old stuff most still cant touch today... and certainly most of the weekend warriors cant hold candle to.
