how much for crank grind?
i got a crank im takeing to the shop soon to have its journals refinished ( 75? 454 ) also the block to have it cleaned up and rebored, i was just wondering what something like this SHOULD cost. ( i tore the block down last night, it had spun bearings in the bottom of the rods ) i dont have a prob paying for quality work, just dont want to get ripped off

actually, i did not check thrust. to be honest, ive been turning wrench for about 16 17 yrs, some profesionally, but this is only my second real hot rod engine ive built ( first was about 6 7 yrs ago, and i didnt get into the crank, 350 chev ) thats mainly why i choose this site, i see theres a huge amount of knowledge here. so if i post some dumb ques. regarding cranks, thats why. nah, i just assumed the way them bearings were spun around, going for the complete rebuild was the ticket, and i didnt really think about measuring much

Check the thrust surfaces. Also get the rods checked for round. A real good bit of insurance on a big block is to have new aftermkt rod bolts installed and sized.
