My 408

As I recall the last comment you made on my car was how slow it is.. if you don't notch the bottom of those bores your cars going to be slow to...
A bunch of Ford guys did the machine works on my motor and they had been around the block enough to automatically Notch the bottom of the block when they bored it with the knowledge that it was going to be a stroker.. not that it needed it with I beam rods but who wants to take a chance...

My commentary about your car being slow, was based on the fact you carry 40 plus more cubic inches, roughly 400 more cfm , more tire

As for clearance, that is why you measure twice
