Use good pistons. Be sure to plastigage the bearings. Don't forget to put oil in it when you're done. If this is in a Nova, give it to me when you're done. I've always wanted a 383 Nova, but can't afford it.

What is the difference between a 350 Chevy crank shaft and a 400 crank shaft?
400 has a longer stroke
What does it take to put a 400 crank in a 350?
The small block 350 uses a smaller main bearing diameter than the Small block 400. To run a 400 crank in a 350 the crank must be "turned" down at a machine shop to fit the 350 bearing diameters. You also will need to use special pistons with the correct compression height for the 350 IF you are using the 5.7 inch 350 connecting rods. If you use the 5.565 inch 400 connecting rods , then you can use regular 350 pistons. The longer stroke 400 crank also requires that you provide additional clearance inside the block, by grinding notches to eliminate the crank hitting the block and other parts. Finally, the entire engine must be re-balanced to make sure that the engine does not vibrate. The 400 is externally balanced and the 350 is internally balenced so you need to use 400 flywheel and 400 harmonic balancer.

Standard bore would be 372.
How do you install a 400 crank into a Chevy 350 engine?
Take the crank to a machine shop and have the main journals turned to accept 350 bearings. Might be a good idea to have it balanced while it's there.

Absolutely. You will need special bearings for it, but it will bolt right in.
What machining do you have to do to put a 400 sbc crank in a 350 sbc?
