crankshaft? is this worth considering?

ebay add for a 383 GM crankshaft. Is this decent and compatable with lt1 rods and new pistons for building a 383?

Face value it looks ok but I always have a little doubt on ebay unless I am positive.

If trying to stay "budget" I would still go with Scat, at least they are known. Bet anything you "save" on this crank will get eaten up in excessive balancing costs or the like.
Pretty sure I have seen the Scat for $189, not a great piece but it does work and there are a number of sucess stories out there with them. Only failure I heard of was a blower twisting the end off one.
