What's the height of a Tall deck R3?

Ryan said a 6.300 rod and a 1.01 CH with 1/2 of a 4.5 stroke comes up to 9.56"...~ Standard 'blueprint' mopar height.
i was thinking the tall deck was 9.8 or so...no?

I'm just asking....Are you going BIG for the sake of going BIG, I think with a 1.4 rod ratio and nearly 4900 fps of piston speed at 6500 I don't know if the VE would be as good as the same rod with maybe a 4.25 stroke spun a teeny bit higher.

David Vizard made a 440 cube SBC several years ago fir Super Stock Magazine....it didn't really live up to its "on Paper" potential...I happen to know both David and the guy who bought the motor. Don't get me wrong, it runs great now but maybe not in terms of HP per cube. Of course a Mopar should be better on general principal!!

I think the specs are dead on but I'd try to get at least 270cc of intake port on it....what will be the final port cross section, I figure you'd want about 3.25 sq inches?

Cool project...It'll be a milestone small block (V10 Viper size V8) for sure!!
