The 383ci Small Block Chevy is a 350 with an unmodified 400 crank. The
most common way to resize the ConRod bearing is to weld additional
material on the outside of the journal and then grind/polish into the
desired size. It is a very common technique for rare/collector cars
then the bearing journal become too small for the smallest available
bearings. I had it done to a 1957 Alfa Romeo coupe.
Don't know how it would work on a 10k RPM motorcycle though.
