Question 390 crank/rods

I am looking for a 390 FE crankshaft and rods. I went to most of the wrecking yards here in the Fresno /Madera area and found a couple but they want 50 bucks and then its a bear to pull em .I was wondering if anybody knew of a place in California (or Central Fresno Ca.area) that sells reconditioned or even used ones that I could pick up cheap? If you know anyone pls let me know ...even a private party who has one to get rid of I also have 429 parts to trade and even some FE parts if someone wants.

Try DSC motorsports. Dennis has quite a selection of FE parts on hand. See his post below aka: riverracer.

Smile CRANKSHAFT

WE HAVE A SMALL LOCAL FAMILY OWNED AUTO PARTS STORE THAT SELL NEW CRANKS. I TOOK A 351W CRANK TO THEM TO BE TURNED AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $70 TO TURN IT OR THEY COULD SELL ME A NEW ONE FOR $140. I THINK RODS ARE $12 A PIECE. CHECK PAWS

I have a steel 390 crank in excellent condition and a set of rods that are also in excellent condition that I have removed from my 427. They are both for sale if interested. Let me know. They are in No. VA.

There are a few large scale, high volume engine rebuilders located in Fresno, they would be a good source. They might sell you a core or a crank that is freshly turned. Should not be a problem with the rods either.
