Sorry, no help here. I guess I've been lucky, I seem to always find what I need locally. I guess for a long block, with the head and all that doesn't look bad if they don't eat you up with tax, shipping and core "business".

You gonna check your crank?
Yeah, it really doesnt seem like a bad deal. I talked to a guy on the phone and he said itd be a little over $200 for shipping, I cant remember the exact number. The core is $200 and the shipping back is paid by them...IF I decided to send it back and not build the stroker.

I did check the crank, and that #1 journal is way out. It would probably have to be turned over more than .030 and I havent seen bearings oversized more than .030.

How about just finding a good used motor locally? They usually range from 300-900 depending on area and mileage on the motor
I would jump on a used motor if I could find one for the right price, or if I could find one at all. I live in a really small area, and there ain't crap around here. I found one motor on CL for $200, but it has to be rebuilt, so that just puts me back in the same boat. In my area, you just gotta know somebody that knows somebody. Plus, I like the peace of mind that comes with a "new" motor and a warranty


I wanted to go with ATK, since Ive heard good things about them. But the funds arent available to me right now to shell out another $700 more than this one costs. And this is a right now sort of thing haha.

Thanks for all your help guys!

Maybe tell them they have a deal if they don't charge you shipping you don't use. Boy, that crank sounds worthy of a Pic! Good luck..
