Should I bid?

Says its an overstock eagle crank. 4340 for less than 200 bucks is a pretty good deal.

If you want a 350 crank it sounds like a great deal. If it was a bigblock crank I would buy it.

Looks like a great deal at the current price if you're planning on building a 350ci.

Depends on what you are building it for, a forged stroker crank will not be more than $300 over that price yet net you big torq gains which will be pretty inexpensive in the long wrong all things considered.

I have that crank sitting in a box (can't wait to use it). So far it's a good deal. I'd put in a reasonably low bid and see what happens.
