By re-manufactured, you mean grinded and polished, right? Can you point me in the direction of any cranks around that price range?

I'm about to buy a used crank off ebay for $90 shipped. I just wasn't sure how much balancing would cost, and then grinding if it needs it. Going to call some machine shops tomorrow...

As for the rods, I was only planning on replacing the one that spun the bearing. The rest of the bearings were in good shape.

I dropped a new crank in the aforementioned LS2. Made my own reluctor wheel alignment tool and swapped to a 24X wheel. Worked out good.

Now I'm rebuilding another LS2 and I'm using an LQ4 crank. Had it balanced and metal had to be added to it, jacking up the cost of the balance job quite a bit. But, at least I know it will be a smooth running engine when I'm done with it.

5.8, 5.7, 6.0, 6.2 use the same crankshaft also uses a 58X wheel... the 4.8 is a shorter stroke and uses a 24X wheel.... you can get a aftermarket crank and have the wheel you need installed on.
