Why? just check out the clearence of your bearings send it out and have it micropolished and it will be fine. You may need to put oversized rod and main bearings in if there is high mileage on the engine. There is no need to replace it. A crankshaft is one of the most dependable internals an engine has.

You have a 350, but if you put in a new crank you could make it a 383.

??????????. If you want to make a stroker, you would need a crank from a 400 CID. Dude, you dont need a new crank unlessyou spun a bearing and the journal is blue from excessive heat. Still, then you can just have it machined at a speed shop.
