yup; pin size is the same and pin height is comparable.  well, c/r
could be astronomical...  rods should be virtually the same, 5.875".

iirc 290/343 don't run with zero deck height; i've wondered if the 360
block was taller enough to use the 3.28" crank with stock slugs and
6.125" 4.0 rods narrowed to v8 spec on the big ends.  i don't think
so...
