A 304 crank will work. They are exactally the same. But I would definitly not try to get the parts from a junk yard. You should wait to see if you need pistons. If a bore and new pistons are in order then you should get a master rebuild kit from Mad Dog racing in FL. They have them listed on Ebay. Make sure you get Clevite 77 Bearings. If you only nee a hone and new rings then just get a crank kit and rings. Your machinist will tell you exactally what you need.
