I looked at fitting a later crank into a LB block,main reasons for thinking of this was I had a pile of standard flanged rod bearings ,so thought I could machine the rod journals down to 1.999, But it got to be more than that,mains were wider or narrower I can't remember,different dia too.
We are not the first to think of this,and I,m sure someone has done it.
