deck height pre vs cross-flow?
OK, I obviously have too much time on my hands because I dug out all my old Martin Three-Valve engine stuff and started mocking up an engine build. I have a 711 block bored to fit 82.5mm flat top pistons, lots of rods, a couple cranks, all I need is a cam, followers, bearings, flywheel...yikes!
My question du jour is what is the difference in deck height between a 120E block Kent and the 1600cc 711 block (typical FFord block). Vague memory says 3/8". The issue is push rod length. I think the answer is in the front section of the Dave Bean catalog, but I can't find mine. Anyone?
Thanks, Brian
