Having a local helpful dealership is almost worthwhile paying extra for the parts! I have a good relationship with the parts counter at my local MB dealership - so much so the chief mechanic often stops when he sees me to ask what silliness I'm up to at the moment.
I hope your Dodge dealer experience works out nicely for you.
Bummer about the crank - though I guess that might be cheaper to source on the internet. Seeing as you've got everything out, are you thinking about balancing the parts (equal piston weights etc)? With the drag racing history, however, this might not be necessary as it could already have been done...
