Ok, another quick, moreso trivia question, would the Mark IV 454 in a 88 suburban be a tall deck or a short deck design? Thanks

tall decks never came on a production engine..The tall decks are only available in aftermarket blocks, like Merlin, the BowTie blocks, etc...."Short" have a deck height of 9.800" and tall rings in at 10.200"

BTW, what do you need a Tall deck block for? you can do PLENTY of cool stuff with the short deck design.

Whoa! Back up for a second! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Tall decks were available off the production line....in the grain trucks like the C60's, etc. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
These tall deck factory motors were available in a 366 and 427 c.i.d. configuration. They were only available in these larger trucks. People take these blocks and make some serious strokers out of them. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

aight, I stand corrected /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif I never even took the medium and HD trucks into consideration /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif
hmm, /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
yep there are tall deck 427's but no 454's.
All 454's are short deck.
I have a tall deck 427 block in my garage casting # 3999294 a '72 block that i plan to make a 540 when money permits. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif
It would go kinda good in a '72 K/5 huh?
