    using .003-.004 oil clearance with properly prepped bearing saddles, good bearings, straight and round crank pins/journals make for a good starting point. But, you'll find that where one block is bit more rigid(cast iron), the benefits of a purpose designed block make for a better starting point. Start conservative and inspect religiously. But YOU already knew that.
    You've already read most of the mantra here in the forums...Never asume anything, and if it doesnt sound right, or you've a question......dont be bashful.
