As a previous owner of a 1997 31 Open w/454's  I would stick with Crusader elbows..... Never felt strongly about after market products.....I owned my 31 Open for 10 years and changed the elbows after 8 years and they were OK but not great. A buddy of mine changed his original Crusader elbows after 6-7 years and used Osco as replacements but they only lasted 4 years... He actually took water into the cylinders but luckily caught it before any damage was done. I vote for Crusader parts. M2C
