302 stroker block jig
 
I'm looking for a Ford Stroker Block Clearance Tool / Jig for a 347. Hawk Racing had them a few years back but their out of business.

Does anyone know where I can buy or borrow or rent one?

Thanks Dwight

I have a Nowak small block clearancing tool if that is what you are looking for. If you're interested, let me know in a PM so I can send it off.

Check it first. Depending on the rods you use, you may not have to touch anything. I grind about 50% of the blocks I use.

Lay the crank in the block, then just use a rod cap with bearing and bolts and roll it around. You'll see if you have to grind, and you'll see where you have to grind. No fixture needed.

That's all I do.......last block/build was on a 1994, 302 block and it needed very minor grinding......

When laying the crank in the block leave the center main thrust bearings out also, this lets you 'float' the crank back and forth a little while checking clearance, some crank counterweights have clearance issues as well particularly around pump mount flange.
