this is on the out side edge of the bottom of #4 bore on a 400 block. I can stick a paper clip into it to about where the line is at. I have taken the drain plug out of the side of the block and shined a bright flash into it ,I don't think it goes thru but can it cause problems in the future?
Is there a fix ? is this common ?
There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama & people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

i'd clean it up with a carbide cutter & get the block magged & pressure tested. stay safe, seeya.
 I am of the same thinking,,It is hard to tell from the fuzziness of the pic but is that a crack that started at a casting anomoly? 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Pressure test and mag to be sure before investing time or money in it  Way better to be safe than sorry Most everything is fixable, it ends up depending on how much and how hard it costs to fix it, it is probally nothing but  to make sure

I clearanced my first stroker years ago in the same area. The rod's got into the bore bottom's with the stock rod diameter and 4.15 stroke.. Back then there wasnt much choice for stroker cranks!
