It's just to get it to turn. the rod bolt hit in the block.
I already try to measure block thickness with a rod, and gess what? too thin block wall!
i don't know wath to do? i could try other block, but here in Brazil is too hard to find 350chevy blocks!
maybe if i change the rods? there must be any kind of shaved rod bolt to clear the block?
if they are bolts in the rod .maybe you can stop face the the rod cap a bit this will run the bolt in the rod more ? but check so you do not run out of treads on the bolts and when you spot. faces them the end mill needs to have a radius on it .so it they will not be a spot were it could crack i think you may sink the bolts 0.60 and trim the faces of the bolts on a lathe or try some new rods
