Eagle use to make a crank bit it wasn't even $1000. Bit again, I wouldn't use that block for a 383 build. You don't need to have forged cranks and high dollar parts for a build like this. Sounds to me like the shops you have been talking to are more interested in taking your money than actually working with you to build something that is suited to how the truck will be used. I've been doing this a long time and far too often I see guys who are not very knowledgeable listening to the wrong folks and throwing away good money.

They were crank manufacturers not shops. It would be special order, and that's what they told me.
Used to is the operative word. There is no more want, and they won't make the supply.
I am a pretty Big LT1 350 fan, but they only have one carb manifold. I would prefer to put the tunnel ram on that engine, but the cost is pretty extreme if I can find someone willing to do it.
