Post I'm pissed! What should I do?

I bought a 347-stroker kit from coast high and I ordered the 4340 crank, ultra light rods, and forged pistons.

I took the crank to a shop here in town and the owner told me that the crank was a 5140 and not a 4340.
I called probe because they charged me more money for the 4340 crank and on the receipt it says it's a 5140 and he told me it's a misprint and he is positive they sent me a 4340 crank and insisted that he saw the 4340 go out and even confirmed it with his machine shop.

I told him that Brent Frazier at Brent Frazier engineering told me that it was a 5140 and he told me he is wrong and that you can not tell the difference between a 5140 and a 4340 by looking at it.
I took his word on it and said ok that I just wanted to make sure that I got what I paid for.
He told me if I did not trust him that I could pay to send it back and if it is a 5140 that he would send the 4340 but it could take 4 to 6 weeks to get it back and they will not reimburse me for the shipping charges.

Today Brent Frazier told me that they called him and asked him why he was telling me that I had a 5140 crank, he said because he does and the guy at probe said I know he does but you don’t have to tell him that.

This guy admitted to Brent that I have a 5140 and paid for a 4340.

I was going to start building the motor this weekend and now I don't know what I should do.

Brent told me the 5140 would be fine but I feel like I got ripped off.
