318 Build.. Zero Deck or Stock Deck Clearance?

you have to go around in circles a few times
combustion chamber. gears and converter, load, usage, cam, torque cure desired
power below the torque peak desired
for example heavy boat vs light boat, truck, motorhome 360 build vs a little duce coupe- getting the motorhome or truck moving loaded up as hill or getting the boat out of the water up a steep ramp is different
can we use late 302 or the late 360's, Magnum style, Enginequest, aluminum have more tolerance than early heads
so if you already have heads let's start with them
and if you already have weight, gears, trans lets add that in
then what torque are you looking for
cheers
guys- take your shots
