Hey 1929,
Yup, why not...it is your money, eh !
I'd appreciate knowing just where you get the 'new crank' for $1000, though ?
Last new scat that I saw ready to be installed from the bench , had a price tag of rounded up....$1600. That did not take into account fitment and/or bearings.

BTW..it is interesting news that scat will cut a crank to whatever specs needed. I'm thinking immediately of Tods 5 main block !
Just what information , other than rod/main size , will be needed ? Maybe five main journals, six crankshaft flange holes , two locating pins , all for B size block ?? Hardened surface, drilled..anything else Never ordered one.
