Default Autozone Crank Kits

Anyone ever use the autozone crank kits? The part number I am looking at is: 11100. Are these as good as the originals? I am thinking about getting one for a 99 model 6.0 so that I can use a turbo 400 or 4l80e without a spacer. Any information or advice I can get from all you experts will be greatly appreciated.

No one has used them? Or know who makes them? Or anything about them? Seems like a cheap way to go. They are listed for less than $300 with rod and main bearings.

The quality of the crank you get is going to depend on the core they used and the quality of the work the machine shop that performed the work. I would take a used crank to my own machine shop I trust and have the work done, That way I know what I'm getting. There should be plenty of cheap used cranks to use as a core.
