Unless you have a way to measure C2C on your rods, compression height of every piston and make sure the crank is indexed to a gnats ***, then any variance in deck height, you are chasing you tail for the most part. JMO

You could mix and match parts which is what we did on Stock Elim engines to get the compression distance evened up. Just have to work with the tolerances you have and being .003 out on an engine isn't going to make a bit of difference on a streeter.
