Default Question About "Stroker" Rods

Eagle has stroker clearanced rods that will clear normal base circle cam with a 4.00 stroke crank. My question is...should these rods clear an oil pan designed for "up to 3.800 stroke" if you have a slightly longer 3.875 stroke?

Since you're looking at different areas of the rod here, there's a chance that a rod clearanced for the cam may not have also been clearanced down on the big end. Unless someone chimes in with specific knowledge on these particular rods, I'd contact Eagle and inquire to make certain...

BTW, I'm putting Eagle's in my 496 build up

The stroker rods have an angled down shoulder at the top of the big
end of the rod to help clearance between the cam lobes they won't
help or change anything at the pan.
