318 LA rebuild after losing a valve seat

What about running them with a 71 crank?
I think that was discussed in a previous post
My literature says that the lightweight rods were retired in 71/72.
And it says that "if you use the HD rods in an engine that originally had LD rods, you will change the balance of the engine. This balance can be as much as 100grams." HP, Books; how to rebuild your SBM/ Don Taylor &Larry Hofer,p45.
