Na Gordon, I'm just bored. I have no plans for a tall deck block, but I have seen a few for sale. Just curious if it would fit.

So, who's going to build the forum's first 700 cube engine? :jester

The big thing is you have to go to a power steering pump brake assist like Norval.

I just have a small block with large heads and have Zero clearance with tall Dart valve covers to the brake booster.

There are 540's ans 502.s on this forum

How come you needed such tall covers GKull? You stud girdles aren't that high are they?
