Good question I wondered the same thing.

I would say yes, as your stock bore is a 346ci and a 382 is a re-sleeved block for that ci....

I'm not sure what your asking here... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I am having a 382 built and they had to notch it a little so the rods would have sufficient clearance. They cleared by .002 stock. Now they clear by .010. You can see where they did the notch. It is circled in red. The rod bolts where what was in the way.
Let me know if you have more questions on stroking.

would you buy a new block or use a 94k.mile block to stroke it.Also you said that they just notch your block.Was that the only block work the done?The reason I'm asking is because I want to do as much work myself as possible on my car without taking it to the shop if possible ,but I don't want to start on something that I need special tools and that I won't be able to finish in my garage. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Also the line honed the journals and they hot tanked it. I would not get a new block. As long as there is nothing wrong with the one you got, it will be ok.
