383 Crank Clearance Template?

I read somewhere of a bolt-on template you could buy to allow the DIY the opportunity to grind crankshaft clearance accurately for a 350 block used for a 383 buildup. Does anyone have a lead on this product?

guess you could use a template but it'd either have you grind more to allow for all the differant rod combinations or not grind enough. i think i'd just fit the crank and rods and use a gage to check clearance with
