I'm guessing the bottoms of the cylinders for the rod bolts and possibly the pan rails? I've never build a SB stroker so this is new to me, looking for some input.

Do you have to do much clearancing on the block or is it just minor and some don't even need it, just asking. What about the counter weights on the crank, do you have to do any clearancing on the block for them? It's a K1 crank.

If I remember right I used 1/16" aluminum under the pump with no gaskets, just make sure the spacer is flat and no burrs. Last edited by runya; 01/23/09 12:44 PM.
