$1500 for a complete rotating assembley already ballanced (I hope I understood that correctly) is a bargan. I would sell the stuff you have and buy what Keith said.

Although I agree with what Excaliber said about the old parts, you would spend too much $$$ getting them X-rayed to be certain, and windowing a side oiler block because you risked it would sure ruin your day. Not to mention what that would do to the budget.

The new rotating assembly minus selling the old stuff seems like money saved to me.
