Glenn,

   You lost me with the "slabside" reference.  Want to tell me what that 
means?

I have a GB block and a 5-main crank that's std.  I had both a GB and a 
GV block and their lower ends.  AIR, I used the GV block and the GB 
crank with the offset GB rods in the engine I built for my present '69 
B.   I don't know now how to tell the later crank from the older one.  
It's PITA to geT old!
