Quote: How much does it usually cost to cut a 440 crank to fit a 400 block? No offset grinding, just the mains & counter weights. a 451 seems to be the best thing I've read about so far. It seems to be a proven combo. I like the lighter weight of the rotating assembly v/s the 440.
thanks for everyone's replies. i just want to learn more (all i can) about the mighty mopar big block..
Cost me $90 to have the mains (and rods) ground and polished, $75 for zyglo/crack check, and cutting the counterweights was free because I did it myself with an angle grinder, using a cardboard template (cut 7.25" hole in cardboard, cut piece of cardboard in half). Grind to fit the template, polish it up with sandpaper rolls, and that's that. Not much material needs to be removed.
