My thanks to Brent and Ted for the info. I went into one of my books (should have done that first) and saw that the stroke is the same for both cranks. The only advantage may be the possibility that the crank is forged and cross-drilled, but I can't tell that until the guy calls me. The weight issue still remains. This is not a "FT" block but a standard truck block and may or may not be heavier than the standard block. Also, were the truck blocks set up, like the 460, with thicker webs or 4-bolt mains? If so I may have to rethink my 351W decision. Thanks again.
