Got a factory crank and using 6" rods. Any grinding needed? I know I need pistons for 6" rods.

No grinding is needed, your clearance will be fine. Just make sure you get pistons made for 6" rods.

No grinding to the block, but you might have problems with the stock windage tray. I now I did and probably a few others too.

I have 6.0 rods with L19 bolts. The block had to be clearenced to allow for the bolts. They are big bolts.
