If your Napa has a machine shop service they can Magnaflux and polish your existing crank. If not, your best bet may be to contact a local engine machine shop and have them prep the crank. They can also provide guidance on what brush to hone the cylinders with. Also, you may need them to press pistons off the rods...

If you mean an aftermarket crank, all you'll get for Olds' is a custom billet $$$$$....the stock cranks are fine just have it checked/machined like mentioned above. A forged 330 crank wiil handle more HP but for what you want the cast/nodular cranks wont be an issue. IMO, ditch the cast piston, the forged are a few more $$ but worth it.
Yes, The napa in my area do machine them so ill take my crank there, I heard Forged don't last twice as long as cast aluminum and the piston i'm ordering are from Keith Black. I want my car to be a everyday driving so basically a Street/Strip car.
Ah ok, I never noticed those before. I'd recommend a different piston. With those you posted you'll probably be under 8:1 unless you shave a ton off the heads. If you go with something like what Probe offers you'll atleast be up in the 9:1 range. Yes they're quite a bit more money, but I'd think you'd be much happier with the results.

Yup those would help with the compression a bit too compared to the KB's. I ran them in a 350 for about 7 or 8 yrs and they held up well.
