Default stroker question
if you're building a 408 will you have to get the block clearanced for the added stroke or will the rods clear everything?

Most of the time you will need some minor clearancing. You should always check or have a machine shop check.

Give the machine shop your block and the rotating assembly.

2.00" small journal rods would usually clear, but the 2.10" pin usually needs a little clearancing.
