How to clearance 350 for 383 crank Anybody have any tips or pictures of how to do it. The crank will be a one piece rear main scat with 3.75 stroke and stock 5.7 inch rods and pistons.I have the tools to do it and would like to do it myself. I will have it balanced professionally balanced when done. Its a 97 roller motor if anyone cares.

I'm not sure you need a guide to do this. You just pre-assemble the engine, and rotate the crank/rods/block checking for clearance. Remove the parts, grind the non-clearing points down, re-pre-assemble and check again.
I believe David Vizard says a paperclip's thickness is good enough.

Yea, that is how i do my stroker motors, i use 1 rod and piston without the rings installed, i do it one bore at a time till i get all 8 done, i make sure the rod bolt has enough room for a nickle to be able to fit between the rod bolt and the block.
