Very simple!
Almost retarded simple , which is why it works so good.

3 +".5625" is the decimal equivalent of 9/16 inch so, hence the name.

A sbc 350 has a factory crankshaft stroke of 3.48.
A little teeny-tiny bit of undercover massaging indeed!
"Old rods" vs "new rods"
2.0 vs.2.1
Stealin cubes!

A 350 wasn't even alive when we hear of the hotrod 327 days but the General, in his infinite wisdom , allows the parts to interchange! So the pistons swap.
Think 327 pistons.

The rods and stoke were different but everything else is the same.
Off the shelf 327 parts make for rev happy 350 blocks! and they're cheap..

Google search 3.50" stroke 350sbc cranks.
Buy one or have your factory crank "offset ground"..no need to buy a $600 crankshaft! :)

I'm definitely considering this now.. On a side not I finally cleaned up the heads, turned out to be a set of unmolested 441's
