Where to buy a crank?

[molgan]

I need to buy a new crankshaft for my stock block build.
I allready have eagel rods and trw pistons in it but the crank took a dump on me a couple of years ago, 7 years to be exakt, and now i feel its time to put it back on the street.
Aiming for 500-550 hp, what crank should i i look for and where to buy it?

Stock cranks handle up to 750 hp (anecdotal wisdom) so just grab a stocker out of a junk 4.3 or you can get expensive billet ones - like $3000. You should be fine with the stocker.

Great, thanks for the answer.
Does it matter from witch year I grab it from or is it just to pick one from any junkyard Chevy 4.3?

Does anyone know if I can pick one from any year of the 4.3 Chevy engine?

You can get one from autozone or other parts store already turned. Most have one you can order that are turned 10/10 if you look into it.
