go to summitracing.com
theres a steel crank I was gonna buy. Its 650 bux but it beats the 1k+ for the aluminum cranks from TSP and everywhere else.

I think that crank is for the old school small block Chevy's.

I think you would have to step up to this crank if you want a forged crank.

From: somewhere in the sticks.

you would have came out a lot cheaper and alot stronger if you had went with the 6.0 thats why I try to tell everyone that is going to mod just to get a 6.0 and start from there a .030 over bore and your at 370 just through some forged pistons and some h beam rods you are good to go.
