Crank Kit
I posted this question in the engine section, but will ask here also. Anyone know where I can get a decent Crankshaft kit for a 350, without paying an arm and a leg? Forget Summit or Jegs....to high.....

Any automotive machine shop should be more than happy to sell you one.
My local machine shop sells a 350 crank with rod and main bearings real cheap. Last one I bought was 150 ish dollars.

Both Autozone and Advance have the kits listed w/ bearings (i believe) on their website. price was around $80-$100 +core.
I have NO experience with the quality. jeff

Is your crank "toast"? Locally, I can have a crankshaft grinded for 75 bones....add bearings, & you are right around "kit price". IMO, there is no such thing as a "kit"! If you are doing a rering/ bearing job, you can end up with balance issues swapping the crank. if you are not rebalancing the engine, i would try to stick with the original crank (if its useable).......just have a local shop grind to the next undersize. Good luck...... L
