Block notching allows you to use bigger rods. I don't think there is another reason for it.

Re:block notching?

Be advised, not only do you need to notch the block with Eagles, but you should with Crower I-beams as well, as the block heats/expands you need to make sure there is enough clearance there, I notched my ZC block just incase.
