Maybe this is back on topic. Yes the weights for the 356 are cast and must be removed for grinding correctly.
As to cost. The last three I have completed cost between 6K and 8K depending on what components were missing or had to be replaced. That cost is from towing the car into the shop and driving it out. A complete turnkey. I'm in Missouri so prices are a little less here than at either coast.

The last time I had my machinist complete an extra 356 crank just to speed up the next rebuild.

EDIT: Oops forged is correct.
