502 ZZ502 crank
will this fit into a 70s 454 block or is this for the one piece rear seal block only? Also can you get enough clearance on the block with std BBC rods? How about Mopar rods built to run on bbc cranks? Will std mopar forged rods work on this crank BTW or are they too thick to machine for fit and still be reliable for only occasional race use?

I went with a 1/4 inch stroker crank but at the same time upgraded to .200 longer rods to make the distance from the wrist pin to the oil ring greater for stability of the oil ring.
Mopar rods are longer but a different diameter so you would need a special grinding on the crank.
