No block filler required on this one. I like the Crower stroker rods because they provide alot of clearance. It's a off the shelf cam, not a real small base circle.
In my experiance, block fill isn't need until you get to a 4.0" stroke or more.
Jim,
If you get a minute, would you be kind enough to post the part number for those rods. I will file it. It takes the thinking out of it for me, on the next build.
The 5.7" Crower stroker rod is SSP93305 The 6.0 is SSP93306
These have 7/16" rod bolts in them. The HP ratings are very conservative. I used these for years in my 421, it made 720rwhp, and never had a problem.
The oil pump pick up tube and fuel pump block off plate should be here tomorrow, so it should be wrapped up tomorrow. Kevin or one of his friends should be coming thru Salt lake City from Calgary Canda to pick it up this week. Kind of cool!
