Building a 402 or 382 - clearance issues??? Assembled a couple 347ci LSx motors - thinking of doing a 382 or 402 motor this winter. Wondering what if any has to be clearnaced for 6.125" rods.
Have assembled 383 SBC motors and quite a bit of clearancing had to be done on them - anything similar to that? Just wondering before I make the final decision.
Thanks

In the same areas? Bottom of cylinders and oil pan rails? The crank sits afully deep in the block wasn't sure if the insides of the skirts needed material removed?

Depending on the rods you are using you shouldn't have to hit the front (inboard) side of the bores. The outward (pan rail) side of the bore will need a small amount of clearancing which I'm sure you will see when you mock it up.
