- -> 3.750 + 5.565 + 1.56 = 10.875
- -> As you see I got two different results - this means that the
- -> deck height of a 350 isn't the same as that of a 383 (or 400). Why ?
- -> Where's the error ? I always thought the 400 rods compensate the
- -> longer stroke in such a manner that both 350 & 400 have
- -> equal deck-height.
-
- Both blocks are nominally 9.020. Your error was quite simple (I've
- done it too!) - you only use HALF the stroke to figure assembled height.
-
- You'll notice the numbers still don't quite come out right. That's
- because most assemblies usually come out .020-.050 below the deck. When
- mixing and matching parts it's also possible to come out with a positive
- deck height, which is still OK as long as it's not more than the
- compressed thickness of your head gasket.
