The only machine work required on the block other than honing is to cut these reliefs (arrows) to clearance the rod bolts on stroker motors. As the crank in these engines throws out 3.800 inches compared to 3.480 on a stock 350, the rod bolts will interfere with the block on full throw, necessitating these reliefs. Once the block was machined, cleaned, washed, and painted, Ben Smeding installed the hydraulic roller cam. These are manufactured close to their final profile, then heat-treated and final-ground.
