I don't know much about the mechanics side of things, so I'll have to depend on the brotherhood within these pages. So what's the skinny on this?

It uses a 400 crank, and the 350 has to be bored .030 to get it to 383 ci. There is clearancing that has to be done to the block for the extra stroke from the 400 crank. Just trying to make a point , that there is more to it , tha swapping in a different crank.
