Crank needs to be counterbalanced, needs girdled, have to machine the main caps flat for the girdle, thrust the main bearing thrust top and bottom. |

we use a 8.3 crankshaft in our engine and it has proven very reliable. |

I ran my engine with stock rods and decompressed diesel pistons for a couple years. Has a 1" girdle on it. The bottom end is very strong. I have the rods & pistons if anyone needs them. |

You're not gonna find to many parts that are tougher right off the shelf. Cummins cranks are hard, the blocks are very high nickel content. |
