Pretty simple question but was having a hard time finding using the search function....

Are there any problems/concerns running a Wide Journal crank in a production 3.8 or 4.1 Buick block?
 
Would not make any difference if you have a crank that has the rod journal size that will accept it, and the proper bearing is used.
 
Sometimes rods need machining on the sides(surface grinder) and sometimes rod bearings need chamfering(lathe with a fixture).
