Offset Grinding a stock Crank? Cost?

![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
What's required for Offset Grinding a stock Crank?
New pistons and rods required for a .1 offset?
What's the typical cost for the machining to do an offset crank?
Longevity?
I wouldn't mind picking up a few extra cubes for the RS's new engine.
Thanks

i just got this done to my motor here in town buy a good machine shop. it only cost me $150 for the labor. when i taked to the crank grinder, he explaned how it was a very simple process and he has done it hundeds of times for SBCs and many others. you can get the scat 2.00" rods for only $400 from a scat dealer. i have a pic of the set up under the nitrous section. the piston will have to be a custom job so that is the only expensive part. i only had it stroked to 3.71 from a 3.62 stock.

Everyone has been doing this for a while it is not a new thing. People have been doing this on motors since the 60`s. To go .100 under to 2.00" big end is where the stock old small block chevy`s were. They never had any longevity issues. We do this on the LS1 often it has worked so far.
Goodluck with the project, Nate

I think my cost was $300 on top of what I was already paying for the motor. Pistons & rods were not extra, I had to get forged ones anyway. I got mine from ARE, might want to give them a call.
I'd wait & see how the new Eagle cranks are gonna work out.
