I used Castillos for several 455 Buick cranks years ago-so sorry to hear he is strugging, they were great to work with!

It’s surprisingly difficult to take a standard OEM crank and stroke it plus .013” and index the crank pins 90* to each other. It becomes a very tight window to work in. I do not have any experience with the new LS, Hemi, or Ford crankshafts but the old stuff was pretty bad.
Who ever you get make sure they have a wet magnaflux that can do end shots and coil shots with a demagnetizing setting and a hand held meter to check to residual magnetism. I think I remember this correctly, the cracks will show up perpendicular to current flow. Don’t want to spend money on a cracked crank or have a crank that attracts iron particles.

We still use our crankshaft straightener press.

You might look at at these folks.

I had a Bryant crank repaired there at Bryant's suggestion and they were easy to work with.
