Does anyone make one for the 6.5? I have searched the net and cant seem to find someone who makes one.

Don't think so, never seen or heard of one. Call Callies, they'd probably be proud to build one for several thou, or they might say, "What's a Diesel?"

they are the number one crank builder for hot rod/ drag gas motors. Big in the world were HP is needed and money is not an obstacle. they can build pretty much any crank though

The way motors are dropping like fly's maybe a order of 25 should bring the cost down:)

I doubt it with some of the best aftermarket companies. My race experience shows that good, top quality parts cost about the same for a given engine no mater how popular it is and how long they've been selling them. A good crank for a small block Chev is still $1200 and they've been making them for years and years. The cost doesn't seem to go down. You can spend more or less but the "good" grade price doesn't go down, it tends to slowly go up.
