Jerry, I've been lucky so far...I've only had one Scat crank/rod combo that I had mill the rods down because of insufficient clearance. It was on one of the most common combos too...a 347 SBF.
Very good tip though...I need to sit down and have a Coke/Pepsi with you sometime.
I can't wait to get started on this thing.
