No it screws up the water hole in the front. So, I was told certain "Hemi" teams were allowed to go into the foundry and massage the foundry cores. This allowed the after market blocks to be altered to less than 1 inch if they wanted with plenty of meat on the top. When that kind of bull**** is allowed, we are all done for.......well now that you mention it.....who else is doing it? We shouldnt just pick on the Mopar guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The short deck block issue is a serious one, and no one is paying attention. My opinion is that it takes away from the original engine design. If they are going to allow this, then why dont I alter Pontiac heads to fit a 400 Small Block?
