I bought mine for $120 shipped from a Vette yard in florida. Apparently no one on this site had a stock crank, was looking for about a month

Any comment about it, super welcome, Happy New Year and thanks a lot in advanced.
You don't even need to get new pistons. I just had the bored honed with new rings. Stock parts. Everything is ARP'd though. New bearings.

Default stock crank

Several years ago I sprayed 150 for about 2 years and then a 2 stage 300 system for a year on my LT4, all stock except for the hot cam. No problems, the complete bottem end , rods, pistons and cranks are very tough in these engines.
