I'm not trying to act superior, I'm just trying to get some basic info. I have deck heights for most all major American OHV engines from the '52 Lincoln (10.94), on but, not the FH.

I know some general info on FH's as I have always loved the look of them and my very first car (1959) was a '48 Merc, with a 3/16 over bore. If you'll read my bio, you'll see my dad worked for a authorized Ford rebuilder from '46 - '51. I started out as a mechanic, at 18 with his tools. I've built many FE's and 289-302 (even had a Edsel, 410 MEL) but, this is only my second FH.

My back ground for the last 45 years, has been as a machinist (not auto motive) and I look at all things from that perspective.
