Default 289 Crank in a modern 5.0 block?
Does anyone know if I can put a 289 crank into a modern '86-up 302 block? My concern would be the one piece rear main seal - are all the cranks dimensionally the same?

My 289 broke it's cam and may have trashed the part of the block the cam bearings go into, so I'm thinking of a std bore block I stuff my other guts into.

Thanks for any advise,

Chuck Brandt
