I paid a coupl hundred for the machine wirk and I think 175 for the balancing. I have a Scat cast steel crank, Scat 4340 I-beam rods and KB pistons. They had to take a ton of weight out of the crank to get the balance right because the recip parts were so light. I have had people tell me that the eagle crank usually need alot of mallory to get them heay enough to get them balanced.
My best advice though is go to Jegs and get David Vizards "how to build a max performance sbc on a budget" book, it's invaluable.
