They arent full balanced cranks. If you have cash and can do it. I would suggest going with a full built AMS long block. But with a quality, damper, and precise machining I am sure you can use what you have. Just don't skimp on the parts, and machining.

well i just ordered pistons and rods for my ka. where do you recommend i do my machine work done and what damper would you recommend? and i dont have enough money for the long block or the short block lol

I always use speed equipment corp. I would let them inspect the block and crank/journals before you order bearings. Let them determine what size you will need and then go from there.

Speed equipment is on Street road in Bensalem
