Re: Flathead deck height
Heres my simple thoughts which is similar to what others have written. The actual deck height standard dimension is of no concern to most of us. What is a concern pertains to the decks being exact heights side to side from the crank center line. On every block I have built this dimension side to side has always been different. Seeing your interest is in the rebuild of your engine relatively stock at that to help you get what your looking for you simply need to contact the Ford archives. The Flathead block prints are located there and for a small fee you can get the print which of course will show the dimension your looking for if the print still exists. I have a couple of NOS flathead blocks and they to are not accurate side to side the variations reflect the machining process at the time and the huge amount being produced daily.
