Pretty sure the 71 258 crank is different. Could probably be machined if you wanted to. 
   Working from memory. So could be wrong.

frank answered that, but i'm starting to like jim's idea of a '71 258.
'70s-'80s have marginally better ports but '64-7 has the best
chambers.  i'm thinking your head on a '71 block with '80s pistons
[they're taller for good 'squish'].

is the '71 crank actually different from later 258s?  it would be in
the flywheel bolts...  maybe a '71 232 could be rebuilt into a 258
with later crank and rods.
