Cant believe what I saw today

Well I took my 340 Super Stock Modified motor apart since we had some problems on the 2nd run and I must say after buying the car turn key with zero runs you never know what you are buying. I'm not blaming anyone that has owned the car but I almost threw up when I saw the crank had over 25 holes to balance it. Over 8 of them were bigger and deeper than my thumb. I have never seen a butcher job this bad on a crank and we did engine work for 8 years. I called Callies today and they had one they could send me right away balanced to my bob weight and I should have it in a week. Its a shame that someone spent GOOD money to have this motor built and got a stock crank that was butchered so bad. I guess im going back to a convertor/gear combo we ran 15 years ago to get a base line. Hope to have it at Rockingham but if not Petersburg for sure.
