Quote: how much can a 400 block beck decked? whats the max. positive deck height on a 400 stroker? I could use a 6.760 rod with a 1.120 mahle piston if I can deck block .025. that would give 0 deck. I do see what you meen. its easier matching parts for the 4.25 crank.
You can take .025 off the deck , but you need to cut an intake or your heads to make up for it.
You said you want to turn it into something for the street after you get your goal that's an awful short piston for something that will see a lot of street duty and it puts the pin up into the rings .
