I may be getting a 350 B engine soon, since it's pretty cheap, but wanted to know a few things about it before I take a trip.

Is the crank 6 bolt or 8 bolt?

Same journals as 361/383/400?

I assume it's a forged crank, is it just as strong as later B's?

Are counterweights light enough that it won't balance in a 383?

I figured the block wouldn't have the material for a 4.25 bore...am I wrong?

Rods the same as later B's?

Thanks in advance for any info on this...can't find any with Google searches, only find what it was in and hp levels, nothing this specific.
