The increased stroke, also gives a higher CR.

There's no 2.139 crank that drops into a 36LB. At least that's my understanding. I was going to do that to fix a 37 block that has .015 oversize saddles, convert it to 59a bearings and put a 4.125 offset ground Merc crank in it. But that conversion is not real simple and not in the cards for this motor.
