Those tall deck MP timing covers require grinding to clear the heads....

That's about it I think. Not if you increase the stroke exactly .300". Then you can use the same rods and pistons. More than likely you will want to lengthen the rod a little also giving up some stroke. Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

You must have a modified or short deck timing cover now. A stock one will work with the 9.6 deck block. So that is no big deal. This is pretty simple everthing is the same except the deck on the block. So intake manifold has to be wider, valley pan has to be wider. Pushrods have to be .600" longer if you run the same lifter and camshaft base circle. The timing cover or belt drive plate will have to be taller. It is really pretty simple.
