I have a 455 crank reground by CS, in Memphis, done in 1988, everything was dead nuts on when I measured it. the finishes were as close to perfect as you'd ever want them to be. At that time I sent it by Greyhound, and it still was fairly expensive, but worth what I spent when I got the finished product, and everything was correct. I didn't have to swap bearings etc. to get the clearances right, standard .020 rods, and .010 mains fit perfectly. What a shame that they're still not in business.

I still have the engine assembled in my garage, and I'm goin to pull the pan, and check the bottom end before I put it into my next street car. When I built it in 1988 it was a standard bore with low miles, so it still has cast OEM pistons, and stock rods in it. Basically a stock bottom end with that really nice crank in it, and ported 5C heads, mild camshaft.
