Large Journal 327 Crank for Mule Motor

More decades ago than I like to think,I bought a 283 core, took it home, dismantled it, and it had a cast crank. The balancer was"t really a balancer, it was a one piece cast hub. it also had a bronze pilot bushing in the rear of the crank. I still have the hub-I use it with my degree wheel when plying with camshafts. I used the block in my 66 Chevy I had at the time, all that stuff is long sold off. I do remember the 283 cast crank,though.

I don't know much about this, but why not use a small journal forged crank with the spacer main bearings? And small journal rods?
