"I was told that the lower end cranks at manufacturers like Callies, Lunati and Crower are made from offshore steel, but that the mid-tohigh range are made in the USA."
Read above, or if you can't, have someone read it to you. Crower steel can come from China.
I'm not paying $2000 extra for a crankshaft just because it's made in the USA. Get some sense and grow a couple brain cells.
It would be nice if they still made every single part of everything in the USA...but you need to come to grips with the fact that they don't. Not to say, that I don't like that, but when it comes down to buying a new Ford truck and parts are made in Mexico, Japan, China, etc...you don't have much choice, do you?
Hey, your engine block was cast in Canada, how do you feel about that?
