H-beam rods are sometimes a bit different shape than stock 400 rods; they might fit fine, depending upon brand and what rod bolts are in them. It's not even a 100% chance of stock rods hitting the pan; back in the 80's I put a stock 305 Monza pan on a 400 and had no interference. Just didn't know there was supposed to be a problem Lucky, I guess.
