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?

3851628


...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?
