Pretty much all in the title. I have a couple steel 440 cranks, and I'd like to find a shop that can offset grind them to 3.90'ish with Chevy rod journals and 400 mains. Obviously, I'm trying to control costs, otherwise it'd just be cheaper to buy some new Chinese cranks, which is why Chicago area would be preferred, as I can deliver and pickup without handing significant money to UPS.

FWIW, these are going to be for low rpm truck use(to tow the race car LOL), otherwise it'd be new stuff. Thanks. S/F....Ken M

Thanks. I'm sure Moldex does nice work, but I was hoping to find somebody in my local giant urban Hellhole rather than go to Detroit's giant urban Hellhole It may come to UPS'ing there if there's nothing closer. S/F....Ken M

Opel treated me right on 2 sets of heads that other people had already messed with. Were honest and fair in the evaluation and work they did.
