Default Identify crank?

As I'm tearing down my engine, trying to identify what I've actually bought, I came across theese numbers on the crank shaft.

Can any of you kind souls tell me what they mean?

...or is it 3951629?


Great forum!

Looks like you either have a 400ci or a stroker motor there.

Whoo! What? Hey?
....what does that mean?

I just realized that my block is 0.30 bigger than it's original 350cui and has some TRW pistons on it! Are you telling me it is a stroker too? What cui would it mean that I have?

...here are some pics...

350ci bored .030 over + a 400ci crankshaft = 383 stroker.
383 stroker = torque monster.
Congratulations.

Also, the L2256 pistons are forged pistons. Together with your 4-bolt block and stroker crank, you have one hell of a good platform to build an awesome engine. What are the numbers on the block and heads?
