Stroker Crank, Will this work for a 2270? Options

What is offered is a Type IV- 78 mm stroke performance crankshaft made from an original German VW forging, shot peened, stroked, counterweighted, machined, precision ground, and dynamically balanced. The main bearings are either .010 or .020 under standard and the rod journals are 50 mm diameter.  If you are building a high performance engine for street or off road, where you want the incredible torque and power of a full counterweighted crankshaft, this is the crankshaft you have been waiting for.

This crank is being offered by a shop that builds off road air cooled race motors. Would this work on a 2270? Or are you better off with a crank that has 55 mm rod journals and uses type I rods?

This crank is priced at $300 which seem reasonable.

I think Demello stroked my crank(insert Beavis and Butthead laugh here) for right around $300 maybe $350. If you have it done, you can get chevy or VW T-1 journals which offers the best rod selections. Incidentally, I didn't so I plan to use the 2.0 rods.
