This is why engine builders are paid to build engines. This is pretty standard issue stuff with all new parts. You can't assume that everything will just fit together perfectly...because it rarely does.

It's not because it's an FE...you run into this with Windsors, Chevys, the whole deal.

Be thankful you're not building a 383 SBC, where you have to grind the poop off of several connecting rods because they hit the cam....
