that looks like a crank for a 400cid engine, and youd need longer connecting rods and smaller pistons not shorter ones

Re: strokin question
That crank won't fit a 350 block as-is.
----------
No, you don't need longer connecting rods. Standard-length 350 connecting rods are used with 383-specific pistons are most commonly used, or shorter 400 connecting rods and standard 350 pistons can be used. Other matching combinations of rods and pistons can be used as well.

Re: strokin question

Re: strokin question
It'll work if you've got a 2 piece RMS block, but you're probably paying $500 too much for it.

Re: strokin question
The rod choice will depend on which pistons you have.
What's the intended use of the engine?
