Update -
Finished checking/setting clearances related the the bottom end. Next step - day trip to the machine shop in SoCal for balancing.
Rods .0025
Rod sides .015-.017
Wrist pins .001
Mains .0035
Thrust .004
Piston to deck .006
I did not need to clearance the block in any way for the 4.15 stroker crank.
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

You should of bought my very good condition Eagle 4.15 crank and rods. They had 150 runs on them. Sold them with 4.5" pistons for $400.......... Don't know what you paid.
10.0's is a nice place to be. Go faster and the license, chassis inspection and additional clothing is a real pain. I swore I was giving that up and selling the race car and going low 10's with the GTX. Like an idiot instead now I had to put a parachute on the race car........
Now that it has cooled off here in the desert time to get back at it. Not much progress as of late, got some stuff on order, Dvorak windage screen & crank scraper kit, also I have been searching for a decent used steering wheel for years for the car. Mine had some serious cracks in it. I finally gave up and sent it out to get restored by Charlie Quarters in Michigan. It is done and is on it's way back right now. I'll post some pictures later. I did not want to buy an aftermarket steering wheel because I use the horn ring for the line lock. One thing I was worried about was the steering drag link interference with the oil pan because the girdle is 1/2 thick (spacing the pan down) I was also worried about oil pan clearance with the K frame in the right front. Clearance was real tight on my old oil pan without a girdle - id hate to assemble the motor then try to install it and find the pan hits the draglink or k member. Just so happens I have another block, I threw it in the car with the trans and test fit the pan with the girdle - no issues. Photos -
K-Member - OK
Steering centered -
