Hey Scott, look at the bright side...at least your rod bolts aren't banging off your windage tray...
Been there done that with the rear end attempts, only I was too cheap to step up to the True Trac. I'm sure that move is coming soon enough though.
Good luck ironing out the rest of the kinks, it's hot rodding...there are bound to be teething pains, but it'll be worth all the effort in the end.
