| Hi guys, I used to be able to go to my search engine and just enter, "what is the block height or deck height on a 440 Chrysler engine" and would get a handful of links and the answer to my question in a few seconds. Now it's a mess.
I'm wondering if any of you guys have old engine manuals or links to resources that I could use.
I'm gathering parts for our next race engine for this summer and am in the process of ordering a set of BME pistons and rods right at the moment.
I'm using a set of Stage V Hemi conversion heads on a .060 over 440 block and the 4.15" stroke crank. I can say for sure the heads haven't been decked because I CC'd them but the block on the other hand I can't say for sure it's not been decked. It would kinda suck to find out it has been after the pistons were already made.
I used to be a member of a few different Mopar racing discussion forums but they've all gone dark by now.
So any info or links would be awesome,
Thanks,
Wayne |

Location: So. Cal | The advertised deck height is 10.725", but as Chuck stated, it's difficult to measure accurately. You really need to mock it up and find out.
