No problem.

The LeMans rod was developed in 1962 for the 8-liter FE racing engine (the Starlifter engine) to offer extra cam lobe and cylinder clearance over the nut-and-bolt rod.

That engine had a 4.3" stroke, and I'm sure it needed get some cylinder base notching.

With a 3.784" stroke 390/406/427 crank (all FE cast cranks are made of the same pearlitic nodular iron), clearance will be plentiful. Similarly, a 391 forged steel crank with 3.786" stroke clears fine. With a 3.984" stroke 410/428 crank clearance in a 390 would be plentiful, too, since the LeMans rod offers more clearance than a stock rod.
