I'm looking into ordering some pieces for my friend's Hemi project. He has a KB alum standard cam location block on order. Wants to go with a 4.500 stroke and oliver rods. Two opinions are that the rotating assy will fit no problem, and two other well known builders say no way.

Which is it? The previous combo ran a 4.375 stroke with Howards aluminum rods in a KB block with the standard cam height. This block will also be standard cam bore height.

If you have build a few KB hemis with a 4.500 stroke and had the stock cam bore location, please chime in as to what if any issues you had so I can get some parts ordered.

Thanks!
