No, offset ground crankshaft using small journal chev rods normally are around 330 ci, depending on bore over size

For what it will cost to grind the crank , chase up the small journal rods & pistons , machine work and balancing , you're best off just going for a 355 . I looked into this when I was putting one together for mine , went with a Scat stroker set up instead .

Cheers guys.was just asking because i droped the sump off and couldnt find the harrop logo on my crank.i know 100% that it has a 3.54 inch stroke but thought it may have had an offset ground crank.will turn donk back over tommorow and rotate crank and try find the harrop logo. Cheers.
