A 383 crank maybe, if you want to buy new rods and/or pistons to go with it. If you're on a budget though you can just have the crank ground and polished.

my crank was turned down .010" 'mid' for $120. A new 383 crank (if you plan on getting new rods and pistons, which I did, so I shoulda done that...) can be had for low $200s...
but yea, you'll need a machine shop to touch that up. rod bolt boots are about $2 (my machinist gave me 2 packs free), and are worth it.
