Since you decided not to go with a stroker setup, just get a standard Ford
2.438" journal crank if you want to use those rods. You can go with either a
3.78" or 3.98" crank and put together a reasonably priced rotating assembly.
With 6.488" rods, going much beyond 428 stroke (3.98") gets you into a
situation where the R/S ratio becomes marginal. Have those rods thoroughly
checked by someone knowledgable before using them, you don't want to
risk that nice NOS block, aren't many of those left.
