Sure. Just clearance the block. You might also have to mod the windage tray...

Yes, not a problem. We do them as kits and they work great.

Make sure the pistons are built for the 4" stoke crank. It will change the pin height of the piston. If the pistons are built for a stock crank, you can't put a 4" crank it it. They will come too far out of the hole.
