it'd prolly be around 100 to have a block cleaned, checked, and honed. yes you have to get it all balanced, not sure how much that costs or anything else.

balanceing cost 150-300 depending on the shop, you just gotta call on that

-crank
-rods
-pistons
-gaskets
-head studs
-arp bolts

for your purposes all cranks (fitment wise) are the same, period.

you'll be fine if you want to use the cobra crank in a windsor block.

i say just go for the cobra guts they will do just fine
