Other shades of box are readily available too. At least, I never experienced a shortage when I was a single man.There's also no shortage of "white box" special floating around.
Not necessarily the crank per se, it just didn't wanna run right. I can't remember exactly what the issues were.
I went back and looked at some of his posts - here's where he got the 383...
"Buy a 383 stroker from S&J engines in Spokane. Got mine for $2300, remanufactured long block with roller cam"

There are some base assumptions inherent to this.Colonizer.
Blame it on the wife. Good one. Just say you are tired of it and want a new toy.Darn, going to have to say good-bye to GMT-400. Broke the crankshaft in my relatively new 383. As the Suburban is 30 years old, wife doesn't want to fix it, so its a parts truck now. She wants a newer truck. The sad part is that I put a lot of money into it to make it the ultimate tow vehicle. Went to start it a few days ago and ran really really rough. Shut it down. Thought it might be a loose plug wire, but all were connected. Tried again and was rougher then heard a big crunch, the harmonic balancer broke off of the front of the crankshaft. Then it ran better but the serpentine belt wasn't turning. I knew it was over, so sad. Enjoyed working with you all and thanks for all the help along the way.
