IMO, you are spinning your wheels not just buying a complete kit. The Eagle Internally Balanced 383 kit from Competition Products is only $819. Figure $150 labor plus $75 in rod bolts to rebuild the stock rods. Most shops get $150-$200 to balance. All that included in better rods and it is internally balanced using a zero rate balancer and flywheel/flexplate. (That is made clear in the print catalog more so than the online listing)
