You can't get the pistons out of the bottom. You will need to remove the heads and pull them out that way. Yes, you will need to get the whole rotating assembly balanced with the new crankshaft.

Nothing wrong with SCAT IMO, that's what i'd go with. That or a COME.

A member on Aussie V8 forum did metal tests on various cranks and scat were very good. Avoid eagle though and poocomp obviously. Come are also good but more $$$ and often need alot of work to balance but strong. Crankshaft rebuilders are no doubt the best though if the budget allows.
