400 Rod journal size

Does anyone know if the ROD journal on the 400 crank is the same size and a 350? I know the main journals are bigger on the 400 but what about the rod journals. If they are different, it will make my quest for 6" rods far more expensive!

You got it Tom. The 400 rod journals are the same as your standard large journal 350. Only the mains are larger on the 400, and of course the 400 rod is 5.5 inches instead of 5.7 inches.
