Harrop are better than COME, but quality wise in cast cranks, you can't beat the crankshaft rebuilders cast crank. they are about $1400. 350 or 383. they build a crank to suit you, with you personal specs.
Just to prove the strength of CSR cranks, i k

from what i have gathered, the best combo is chev journal/5.7" rod/1.425" pin height pistons, rather than holden rods, and different pistons. If bundy wanted to build a 377/383 chev stroker, he would use the same 5.7" rods, and 1.425" pistons.

A 400 is the exact same physical size as a 265 Chev, just like a 253 and 308 (but with lots in between like 327 and 350).
