I have eagle "H" rods in my 455 just recently built and did not have to grind the block for clearance. I have heard of this occurring however.

I have had eagles before also with no fitment problems and they can hold a lot of juice and abuse.

Are they stock size rods or are they for a stroker? Stock crank or strocker?

They are stock (6.735") and I noticed that my old block was ground so I figured the new one would need it also, I will check. Thank you all.
