Re: 356 Crank in 327/359

You can answer your own question about bore spacing by checking cylinder head or cylinder head gasket interchange. Parts book for the appropriate years is on this site, though a Hollander's may be quicker.

Hollanders will also give you the answer about the crankshaft interchange between a 356 and any of the other postwar 8s - NO. Whether NO can be made a YES by some machining, I don't know.
