Default Steel crank to stoke the early blocks?

How practical would it be to turn down one of the modern steel cranks to fit the small journal blocks? You could make a 389+ out of a 370, stroke a 347 at least 20 cubes too.
The 287 & 316 ports are just too small get very serious with, unless you were to use 370-389 heads & manifolds.
Sure, you could just use a 59-60 389 block & crank but that would be way to simple. Unless you were building a 421.
Curious about the potential here.
And would you recommend a morse chain??
