Im looking for a good 383 internal balanced assembly for a decent price with good componets.

I have found a Howards kit for around $1800 750HP rated
Also Ohio crank has a kit for $1250 but Im unsure of make of some of the parts.

Howards is all American made. Anywhere else i could look?

I want to keep the off shore parts to a minimum.

$1800 for a serious rotating assy is pretty cheap.
I have had pretty good luck with the Scat stuff - the quality is better than CAT or Eagle.
You should be able to get a Forged crank with 6" H-Beam rods and Pistons for around $2K
The Scat cranks are Forged in China but finished in USA.

You quite frankly cannot beat Crower for quality, but you are gonna spend that $1800 just on the crank

Try giving Callies a call. I got my rotating assembly from them. I went with a Callies 4340 Dragonslayer crank, Manley Sportsmaster 6" rods, JE Pistons, and Clevite 77 bearings - but they will put together anything you want. The Callies personnel are great to work with too.

They will balance the assembly before shipping if you want them to, but I opted not to have them do the balance prior to mockup just in case I had to grind on the pistons for P-V clearance.
