I'm looking for some input with the clearance needed for 3/8" pushrods and Edelbrock SB heads for my 340. I received my Smith Bros. pushrods and did a mock-up to check for the clearance and found that they rub although not shown in the pics below. What's a safe bore size to open these up?

In my Hayes repair manual it says to take the #6 piston to TDC on the compression stroke to install my timing chain. Does this sound right... why not #1 piston? At this point I don't have the lifters or pushrods in, so can't I just align the dots on the sprockets?

Do I need the fuel pump eccentric if I'm using an electric fuel pump? I'm getting ready to put the timing chain on.

Have anyone of you installed a Milodon windage tray on your 340 stroker motor? Mine happens to have Milodon 4-bolt caps. I'm curious about the trimimg or dimpling you had to do for fit and about the possibilty of adding spacers for clearance. Thanks.

Do any of the head bolts enter a water jacket on a 340?
