    427 tall deck rebuild

    You're a moron. The standard rod length is 6.135, a 6.385 rod is for a standard deck with 4.25 stroker crank. Tall deck is 10.2... standard is 9.8; when you subtract the two you get .4 that is the deck height difference. Add .4 to 6.135 you get 6.535... That is the correct rod length for a tall...

    Sorry for not answering you earlier been busy on renovations on the house. My tall deck 489 stroker is going in a 84 Chevy k10 pick up. Been quite the learning process, but people desire these engine blocks because of the stroker combinations and the amount of cubes you can gain. Also can get...

    This when I first got the block and broke it down and cleaned before sending it out to the shop. If you look closely you can see truck on the front of the engine block just beneath were the camshaft goes, also see the stock pistons. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Im not doubting you, but i dont agree with you 100%. If they are, i don't know why.. a stock tall deck was a low compression work horse of an engine. Pushing probably 290 hp with 400 + ft torque, with stock peanut heads and heavier pistons that aren't worth crap. The only benefit of tall deck...

    You are right connecting rod length is the same, piston size is different than a standard deck; stock tall deck pistons came with four piston rings not three. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    2 bolt mains are recommended .060 over standard bore size, 4 bolt mains can be honed .125 over standard bore size.. but isn't recommended do to risk of engine damage. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    That would be the ideal size I was going to run with 750cfm Holley Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    I don't think so, same lay out as a standard just different deck heights. The tall deck is .400 higher than the standard which you have to use longer connecting rods which gives you more stroke then a standard deck. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    I wouldn't agree 100% with that only because of how close you are to the water jackets. That and how steel shrinks and expands do to heat and cooling could do some serious damage to the rings and pistons over time... just my opinion though. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Probably right, but when you get that far I want you to tell me how much you enjoy putting gas in the old girl.. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    In my opinion I don't think you would get much more of a gain from a 496 compared to a 489. To many variables on what you want out of the engine. Style of piston can change the compression ratio as well as rod length. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Probably but you're also looking at spending a lot more money, if this engine was going in a chevelle or a nova than I would have gone with boring the block out more. For the build I want; this engine is perfect, still runs on pump gas and will be pushing about 550 to 600 hp Sent from my...

    I can't remember the number on the back of block, but I'm pretty sure it went from 70-84 Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    My tall deck block is an original 427 truck engine. I did have to shave some metal off the bottom of the block for the crank to fit and that was 4.25 stroke. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Cylinder heads came in, have to send them out for a valve job. I put parts that i ordered to make sure everything fit before I sent the heads out. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Lot of torque meeting stock components that aren't rated for that kind of stress, means things breaking. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk
