Can a machinist rebalance a stock crankshaft from 28oz to 50oz? I've got a 351W, and if I could get the stock crank set to 50oz that would save a ton of money on a new flywheel and balancer, the balancer I have already aftermarket.

I was going to have him balance the entire rotating assembly (balancer, crank, rods, pistons, flywheel, clutch) anyways. Would a quality machinist (what I HOPE I have) charge more to redo the stock crank?
