If you can do without the center counterweights the take outs like ebay 
#250783418514 are hard to beat . Somebody bought 500? 427 short blocks from 
GM  for the blocks . Howards Cams had the cranks for a while and somebody 
else has them now . I got a couple while Howards was selling the nitrided 
ones for $137 and plain for $99 . Top fuelers can't break em . I put 300 
runs on the 427 crank in my A/FD .
