Just to toss another thing in. It seems that there are now 351W blocks available that use the smaller 289/302 main size. I am sure to reduce bearing speed. But I have a 289 crank that has been gathering dust for about 35 years and intend to drop it into a 351W block with the small mains to put in our Coupe. With the longer rods and new aluminum heads it should be a great street engine.
