Looked through my papers and can't find the standard deck height of the 64-71 Hemi. Too lazy to look anymore. Mine is stamped 9125 up in the top corner, this would be 10.59 deck.? How far down is it?
Where can I find the iron deck spacers?

Any engine machinist verify this? How about the deck spacers? Can't remember who I talked to about these before on here.

Hemi is same as RB , it's 10.725, 10.59 would be .135 short. You create other problems with that much off.

I'm not sure what you would use for a spacer with that much off , shim gaskets and ??? sandwiched in the middle ?


running up my post count some more .

I had read somewhere about a spacer that came in different thickness, made for the old SS blocks, Sandwiched between two gaskets. Of course copper and the MLS gaskets can be had that are 1/4 thick, but not sure of the integrity of that.

Yes, a shim used to be available for Mopar. .125" thick I believe.
