alternative engines, now Hemi

This is actually what I did with my 440 wedge steel crank into the 383
block.. instead of boring out the mains I had the crank turned... a mere
$125 bucks.  Not too bad, and because you're taking off a lot of
material, even a scoured/scratched crank (which is cheap!) can suddenly
become a good core crank for the project.  As long as it passes
magnafluxing, it should be okay.
