Refurbished rods are cheap at most machine shops.

learning curve

I have not done much research on the FE yet. Most of my previous experience has been w the 300 I6 in my '69. I do know that my father and brother love their FEs and swear up and down by them.

How much is a used 390 crank worth? How about rods? How much is a 428 crank worth?

Depending on the undersize 390 cranks are $50-100. KCR sells them freshly ground for $200. Rods are about the same $50-100 used and about $200 sized and bushed. 428 cranks either IU or IUB are $300-400 good used std -.020 under.
