Forged 383 Crankshaft
Who makes a forged externally balanced 383 crankshaft for a 1 piece rear main?
I've been looking for one forever and don't know if they exist.
I want to externally balanced because I've heard its just a lot easier then internally.
Thanks

Just go with the internally balanced crank with 1pc rear main seal. For the money, the Callies Dragon Slayer is very highly thought of.

I just got a whole assemble from EAGLE
Eagle 383 internally balanced assembly with 6.0 inch rods and SRP pistons $1200. part number 103523750L works awesome just remeber to take the weight off the lat model fly wheel. No vibration. I had to do some minor machining on the block maybe 1/16 near the filter and 4 spots on the drivers side where the rods came up. very happy with my setup. look at my cardomain page for pictures and info on what i have. good luck

I thought about a rotating assembly package, but none of the ones I've found have 5.7 H beam rods and forged pistons.
From what I've heard from a lot of people is that I should go with 5.7" rods because I'll be using a lot of nitrous.
