I believe he welds and re-drills the oil hole if necessary.  This guy makes 7 inch Welded cranks for M Farmalls for pulling.    He is a former employee of Adney Brown and was recommended by him

3.830 x 3.830 x  3.750 x 6.2832 = 345.63 ci, 3.860 x  3.860 x 3.750 x 6.2832 = 351.06 ci.  My '55 Thunderbird has a 345 Y in it as a driver.  Joe-JDC
