none really they will fit with no more notching of course you should always check but a 408 and the 427 and 434 all need to be notched further for clearence of the rod bolt and block interference ... Bruce

On my 393 I had to notch the bottom of the cylinder bores, the oil pan rail and I think a little off the oil pump. Notching was the easy part, mocking everything up, marking where I needed to grind and reassembly after grind was the time consuming part. I'm also using KB pistons. PN KB192's I believe with the 12cc dish. My current cam has .550 lift and when I clayed it I had plenty of clearance. I'm hoping I have enough for .600 lift also, thinking of upgrading to a UD cam with that amount of lift on a 105 lsa. Should idle like crap but hopefully pull pretty good once it comes on the cam.
