    Large journal caps are a little taller and require a little longer stud. In 1968 the main bearing saddles were increased in size from 2.3" to 2.45", so if your block was manufactured before that, it's a small journal, after that it's a large journal.

    Small journal cranks have a main diameter of 2.300" and a rod diameter of 2.000".

    Large journal cranks have a main diameter of 2.450" and a rod diameter of 2.100".
