The distributor shaft is supposed to be snug in this hole (my understanding). I didn't have the distributor for testing but the shaft on the distributor is much less than .500". My friend told me the hole in the block should be ~7/16". Please tell me I am missing something here. WHY WOULD ANYONE DRILL THIS BIGGER? Keith Craft, are you out there? Ever seen such a thing?

Sounds like it might be an FT block, these have a larger hole. Federal Mogul makes a bushing for it.
ARP's main cap bolts will clear the
oil pan (barely) if you are running a CJ windage tray and the two gaskets. If you are concerned about the stock bolts.
Your build is going about like mine, remind me to go on my ATI Balencer rant when its all said and done.
