I believe that a 9.200" deck height was mentioned, the only way that the 360 could be is to have a shorter connecting rod, otherwise the compression height would be really short. Also the 360 couldn't be stroked to a 408 as the compression height would be less than 1.300". Either way I totally disagree with a shorter deck height especially by .400.
With a 360 crank and rod you'd have a piston pin height of 1.287", it's not meant for stroker V8's I meant to give shorter strokes a shorter pistons. Why ford has 2 deck heights 289/302 vs 351. Same as our B vs RB and even /6.
