I'm rebuilding my 95 LT1. Looking for a direct stock replacement crank, and was wondering if I can grab one from AutoZone. They advertise a crank kit w/ bearings, but I want to be sure that this is going to be the right crank (as in balanced for the LT1 pistons), and not just some run of the mill 350 crank. I'm keeping the rest of the bottom end stock.

Anyone have any experience w/ these 'AutoZone' style crank kits?

Thanks,
J

 

Try going to your dealer, the pickup truck 3/4 ton and 1 ton cranks are forged and pretty cheap.
For not alot of money you can get a 1 piece rear main seal crank for a heavy truck which will fit an lt1 and it will be stronger than the stock lt1 crank.
