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.
Same here, it seems to me if the Parts were available that it would make a heck of a torque monster.
