360/410 Stroker Questions

I appreciate the replies. I think my terminology needs refining:

I know "deck height" is used for a block's crank CL to deck surface distance.

But my 1st question is about variation in the piston top to deck surface distance at TDC.

Some call this piston height, but that can have several meanings, too. Thanks.

they are hand in hand if the connecting rod connects the piston to the crank and the crank is "Centerlined in the block"..as you put it..but the deck is taller on number 8 vs number 2 and number one is taller than number 7... then all your pistons and rods could be the same length and they would still be at diff measurements from the deck now wouldn't they...
