Re: 454 366 bbc

found this on you tube granted not real informative but give a good idea of what a tall deck looks like in a newer truck. I seen my dad do a few tall deck installs on some cars and a few trucks granted i was 9 so i cant comment on the details but they make adaptors for short deck manifolds to fit usually about $120 but well worth it to address the cost of a tall deck performance intake ebay would be a good place to look. I remember mallory had a standard vac advance distributor that would replace the junk one these engines came with most likely it's still out there or since gm has a quite a few tall deck crate engines out there im sure a distributor without a slip collar could be dug up easy.
