different crankshaft metals
I bought a TKO 600 so I need my engine rebalanced. Right now I have a used Mountaineer crankshaft that I had reconditioned. I want to give the machine shop a new crankshaft instead of this one because I plan on supercharging and I want to make sure that the bottom end is solid. Would a cast steel Crankshaft be adequate? I have been reading on forged steel crankshafts and they seem like overkill. Also, I am not sure what the Mountaineer crankshaft is made up of so if anyone knows , I would appreciate it.

a motor isn't rebalanced cause you buy a new tranny, and no need for a crank that'll out live a stock block , cause what's worse when the motor lets go, losing a 200 dollar crank or a 1000.00 dollar one??? exactly!!

I'm not going to re balance it because of the transmission, I'm going to re balance because I am using a different flywheel. It is an auto to man conversion. I can definitely see your point on the crankshaft. Do you happen to know what this stock crank is made up of?

I had the engine balanced before. It was bored to 306 because I had some scoring in a couple of cylinders. I have sealed power forged pistons and forged eagle rods. Block is in great shape according to the machine shop. No cracks, or anything. That's why I want to make sure that I have a crank that will last if I supercharge.
