There's a guy in my area selling a 1974 390 truck block, as well as a 427 crank and both hi-po and standard 390 heads for $225. I admit I had settled on the 351W stroker route for my build, but this combination intrigues me. He hasn't returned my call yet so that's all the info I have. My question is: will that combo of block and crank make a nice stroker? Is the truck block better or just heavier than a car block? I know Mercury put a 428 crank in the 390 to get their 410 engine, but it seems I might run into an expensive balancing problem with the 427 crank. Any thoughts?
