The only difference I know of between a 9.8 or tall deck block is,on my 496 I used the short deck,which put my wrist pin right thru my oil control ring.That was with a 6.385" rod. Tall deck you can avoid that,I believe.Doesn't hurt anything at all.

What do people turn these 496 too? My brother is looking at one with eagle forged crank and h beam rods? I was just wondering with that long of a arm. I told him we will proably have to take the 5.14 out. He turns his 402 bbc to 7600 in the 1/4. thanks

That I do not know. He just called me yesterday about it. I told him probably try to keep it around 7000 so I was close. I will try ti find out what bolts are in it. Do you know of any pistons for sale ? I think this guy has the block,crank,and rods only. I told him not to offer too much because i've seen assembled ones from Nye's for 2700 something on here. Thanks for the reply David.
