need a balances rotating assembly

I've been searching for a balanced rotating assembly all afternoon. Im looking for an eagle 4340 crank,eagle h beam 5.7 rods, and a good set of forged pistons. I wanna stay around. 11/12 to 1 compression ratio. I also wanna be able to lower compression in case I want too add a blower or turbo in the future. I searched ebay but can't find a balanced kit anywhere with forged pistons. I wouldn't mind doing a 383/385 either. Im looking too spend under 2k if that's possible. Thanks in advance

I"ve been looking at Ohio, they have one that is ready to install, so they say. I imagine they could do it for any one of their kits though.

I picked up a prepped block and will probably be buying one of their ready to go kits. RamAir How was customer service?

To be honest my builder recommended them and while I was skeptical at first apparently he uses them in all of his engines. Must be good enough.

Now that I think of it I pretty sure I read in one of your posts, that's how I found them.

Funny because I was skeptical about using them. Terrible reviews online. My friend has a 1000 hp cutlass and he only deals with Ohio crankshaft.

Re: need a balances rotating assembly

I am in the same boat as the op. I dropped the block off to the machine shop to get baked, and magged. Those look like a good setup. Another one I will have to consider for my build. Lucky for me, they are only about 2 hrs from me.
I might look at the 383 small block super kit.
