Cranks; I know I’m opening a can or worms but…..

Newest update;
I finally got, what I now believe, is a more accurate shipping and handling cost.
Bad news, because of the current 25% tariff on goods in this category, the absolute best selling price possible will be in the $1800-1900 range. These will be better material than before, with some added features. But nonetheless, not an inexpensive piece by any stretch.
So, unless I get a host of additional interest, at this new estimated price, this project may be dead.
Let know your thoughts gentlemen. Thanks.

But these will also serve well for the DX guys too so I guess it makes sense to just make em all out of 4340.
And these will be much lighter than any 3.00” main crank anyway, by a long shot.

Another update;
Ordered 2 as a sample. Unfortunately I didn't get the order in before their Chinese new year. So it'll be April or so before I get the sample cranks. From there it's 4-5 months.
Final configuration is, 4340 Billet, 4.00" stroke, Profiled counterweights, SBC rod journals, All else Olds dimensions. Final cost should be $1750.00 or so.
Thanks.
