well ain't it true you can take the connecting rods and crankshaft out of a 351 and put them in a 302 and then it will be a 347

302 and 351 have different size rod journals.

While this is true the windsor crank is what was used before aftermarket cranks for a 347. Hours and hours and hours of grinding to make them work
