Another popular combination was a 4 1/8 stroker which was an offset 
welded/ground factory crank that took the 59AB connecting rod bearings with a 
3 7/16 bore.  

######### Most engine builders didn't bother with welding to get the 4 1/8" 
stroker with a Flatty. By taking the 2.137" dia 1949-53 Merc (4" stroke) 
crank journal and offset grinding it to 2.000" the stroke became 4 1/8" and 
1937-41 Ford 21-A / 91-A  2" journal rods could be used to get the stroke 
without welding the crank.
