    Explain Deck height, please

    Thanks for the great info. I was hoping to not have to buy an aftermarket block, but I would rather spend the money on the front side than later down the road. If you buy an aftermarket block will you still have to spend the money on the machine work or will it already come ready to build?

    Explain Deck height, please

I'm seeing that the 351w in 69-70 seem to have a different deck hieght than the later engines, what does that mean exactly? Will this change what intake I run or heads? Also after I buy...
