I did something similar a few years ago and ended up tearing the engine down and getting the crank reground anyway after a few operator hours. Then I had to buy a new 10 under connecting rod and a whole slew of gaskets and seals all over again.
If it were me and I weren't in a time crunch, I'd shop around and find the best price I could find on a regrind, and in the meantime save up some $ until I could afford it and a connecting rod. I think I got mine reground for $50. My machinist sent it off to some place in Terre Haute Ind. Unfortunately I never got the name.
Good luck!
