I read up on it as I was contemplating going that route & yes(from what I gathered) that the 4" crank reduces the rod/stroke ratio almost to the point of the side loading being an issue but there was a long thread on stroking them & every one to a person said that after stroking their 340/360 that with the added street manners from the torque increase that they would never go back to using a stock stroke SB

Goldmember. I have a 360/408 on paper & I have some badger .020 cast pistons w .017" clearance in a freshly bored/honed block. If I go with a 4" crank would the tight clearances here minimize the piston problems with this deal? 360/6.123" rods/5/64" rings, Daily driver low rpm

My mistake I meant .0017" EDIT I have everything covered except I am wondering about any possible piston/wall problems from the side loading/rocking from the low rod/stroke ratio.
