why would you bother for a "slight increase in torque"?
If your cube limited go the baby stroker, these were the done thing in the olden days because offset grinding a crank was the only way to get more cubes, clint at pro stroke was one of the first in this country to make cut and shut cranks available to the public (harrop et al were doing it in the olden days, but only for their drag cars and certainly not for joe average)
I cant think of any real good reason NOT to go straight to a 3.48" crank and be done with it, otherwise save your money and leave the stock crank in it.
Pro stroke 355* kit seems expensive, COME are a fair bit cheaper, you could likely piece together something using standard rods, harrop/come holden crank and an acl piston for much less, but by the time you piss fart around resizing rods, fitting arps, and balancing, youd likely be able to buy a new stronger set of rods anyway.
*(i cant remember who the pedant is for cubic capacities, but try finding a 308/304 bore that will get away with a hone only, then try and find a piston in standard size that will do the job, besides, "they" advertise it at 355 because they supply +0.030" pistons in the kit lol)
