Engine decking issue(help)

Ehh..don't be a pussy. Those china blocks crack, barely fit a 4-inch stroke... and yield a stomach sickening rod ratio.
I've run a factory bolt on that side before with no issue. Use the 12 point nut, torque it and then grind about half of it off... then clearance the pump body till it fits. the cylinder notching and the rest, as well.. were all laid out in the rags in the early mid 2000's w/mopar muscle ..mopar action..car crap, hotrod..

You know what I'm sayin dummy. It'd be nice to get HALF the aftermarket suck up Chevy does. We just "have to do what we have to do" and we always have. All the stuff we have to do would make a Chevy guy give up and run a Chevy. Now hush up, Peter P. lol
