Default Crank decision

I got talked into stroking my Magnum block today. It's a new 360, bored 030. I'd appreciate any inputs on whom to buy it from, based on your own experience. This will be going into my Demon, used mostly for street, and I have new mildly ported R/T heads. I'd like to buy the whole rotating assembly from a good source. Any suggestions, gents? Price is a consideration.
Thanks!
Ron

If you arent planning on any turbos, supercharger or nitrous a cast crank will probably be fine. If you are thinking about any of that down the road, then invest in a forged piece. I would go with Mopar Performance on the crank. Rods and pistons, it all depends on what you want to spend. If you do a search on here, youll find some good links to companies that offer full assemblies.

Swinger is right about the cast crank and power adders,good advice.
campbellenterprises.com is one and manciniracing.com is another. I've heard good things from 440source.com and hughesengines.com .

Default Thanks

I checked Callies, had not heard of campbell nor 440ent. Appreciate the info, guys. I would not have considered building this car without this site and Mopar Muscle magazine.
