Starting to build a 401 from a 1978 bare standard block and I have a 3220411 forged crankshaft @.020 under, with stock heads. To the point where I need to find connecting rods and I'm not finding any reference to casting numbers. Is there any thread that will tell me if 3197047 connecting rods will work? I would think any 401 rod would be okay ???
Another short question - I just purchased a set of cam bearings with the .201 holes for this project. Is the oil line under the intake manifold
going to be overkill or cause me any problems with these cam bearings?
Plan on posting pictures as I go - right now it's a shelf full of parts.

Lots of standard parts from my 360.
