It's amazing what 10+ years of competition and the flood of aftermarket parts will do for a platform

Not understanding what you mean? Saying that since these cranks are now under $1,000 (the price that was listed in this thread for a cast crank) that a cast one would be even less? Getting a better crank than what was talked about in this thread, for less than what was also talked about in this thread, seems like a good deal.

Common sbc cast cranks are usually no more than 500$.tops
they are mostly imported castings,even some of the forged ones. Most are claimed to or are machined in the states.
I highly doubt the mfgs. In the ls market will allow cast stroker cranks like sbc versions to be around. A mfg is not gonna sell you a 300$ crank, when they can sell a 900$ one.
Ive bought and used one of those 300$ 383 cast stroker cranks and the motor is still in use today. Almost 8 yrs.

I can tell you Scat is not interested in doing a cast crank, as I spent about 2 weeks arguing with them over whether or not the stock crank is forged, and requires gun drilling (the truck crank is not drilled).
I've been working up a pattern, but I want to finish building my lathe. I've got a local foundry that can cast up to 8000 lbs castings, but I need to finish the pattern to bring to them first.
Someday we'll see an American made cast steel LSx crank. Too many projects, not enough time
