383 build help one piece at a time

A couple comments based on responses...
There's no piston factory or aftermarket that will be close to zero with a factory deck height block. At least none I've ever run accross but I've only built 7-8 over the years. You have to either blueprint the block, which can mean a lot of milling on the decks, or get custom pistons made.

Yup, the 68-70 383 HP engine has a positive deck height flat top right out of the box
