Re: Anyone ever put a 427 in their 67-72? Pics!

Why don't people buy these tall deck motors and build massive strokers out of them?

Do you run into some other clearance, like rod-cam, before you run out of deck height? Because if nothing else you should be able to build the same strokers you can with a normal block but run a much better rod ratio.

It would seem like these should be the hot ticket for big-cube motors, but it never seemed to work out that way, and I always wondered why.
