Hey richmondb, I got the balanced kit from powerhouse and it was not to good. I got the one piece rear main seal crank for a 94 block. The first thing I had to do is when I put the crank in, it was hitting the block right where the oil dipstick went in on the oil pan gasket boss. Not a problem to fix with a die grinder and about 1 min. of grinding, other than that every thing else cleared except the piston skirts hit on the counterbalance on about 5 of the pistons. I got that problem taken care of and busted #5 piston. I called and ordered a new set of pistons and when I got them, one already had a hole in it. They shipped me another one but still took a week to get it. Their parts are ok but check everything very well before you put anything in the block. I still run the rods and crank but I went with Speed Pro pistons this time. I think their pistons are pretty much junk and may be seconds or something. I do know one thing, the crank fits in the block without much machine work. As far as power and torque, them strokers sure has got it going on.
