    Crank journals

    Are all crank journals the same diameter? If I micd a stock one and then micd a stroker, would they be the same? Meaning if I pulled the stock crank out of my rebuilt 351w(never fired), could I swap the stroker crank right in without any trouble with the main bearings.

    i wouldn't. i'd be checkin' twice or three times. chances are good if your 351 was rebuilt the crank may have been turned under ?? ;)

    No, you have to measrure all of them, and then if your measurements check out,,, then plasty guage them.. and look at the bearings, they always say STD, which is standard size, and an over size standard is marked, ... hope this helps..

    you need to measure journal diameters to be sure because some companies make cranks for aftermarket blocks that are smaller in diameter than you 351.Then you need to check bearing clearance to make sure you have proper bearing clearance
