360 forged stroker cranks

Just remember that all the aftermarket cranks sold today for all applications; Ford, GM and MOPAR are forged by the same manufacturer. Maybe there are a few different ones, but its the grinding/finishing that you are paying for. Some are quite nice and are drop in parts; some need to be polished, ground or even straightened.
I installed a MP 4.0" in my 360 and the machine shop asked who I got it from. I asked him why, he relied because it's very nicely finished with no extra work needed. Even the balance was near perfect.

That's what Hughes Engines told me when they built my shortblock. At the time it was on sale for like 300 bucks, and because I'm only at 530 HP, they said it wasn't necessary to spend the 500 extra bucks on a forged unit...
