Schwalms did a counterweighted and drilled crank for me a few years ago and the price was $750.00. I have seen that just doing a counterweighted crank goes around $450-500, so I would say that just drilling for full pressure would be about $250-300. I would also have this work performed by an experienced shop, as the angle and placement of the cross-drilled holes is very critical.

Hey Al,
Thanks! I've located a crank shop owner out here that specializes in nothing but crankshafts. Will get in touch with him/his shop !
