What is big end side clearance?

Is it the clearance between the two connecting rod journals on the crank? My engine spec sheets say that it's supposed to be .006-.014 for sbc 350.

That's about right... .010" - .012" is pretty typical. It's not very critical though; it's one of those "some", "but not too much" kind of things.
