The flip side of that question would be "why hunt a 30 year old junk yard piece, or more likely 4-5 to get a good one, then spend $500+ on prepping a $20 30 year old junk yard part?" He could simply order a new crankshaft, with the stroke and index already correct, and never have to hunt an old junk yard part or worry about it again.
