I would just as soon run the stock 8BA crank. Never could understand why anyone stroked a flathead anyway, when they lacked RPM, not torque. Nice 8BA cranks are all over the place too. I must have at least 6 of them and all std. Usually the blocks were cracked and scrapped and cranks saved. I ran an 8CM crank in one of them and never noticed any difference in power.
