Putting pistons in my 383. Seeing trouble with rod bearing

Basically yes. If the bearings "clear" everything and do otherwise fit correctly with correct bearing clearance they will work fine even with a mismatch or offset to one side or the other. You just have to check and make sure they do not contact the crankshaft on one side or the bearing of the rod next to it on the same journal.

I meant to check some bearings this weekend and forgot. I should have some of these and 383 rods from my old engine. I will try to check those in a few days when I get to them, if you do not already have a definite answer.
