Default Flathead deck height

Does anyone have a factory reference of Fords Deck Heights for the Flathead engine and are there any variation of the deck height for 32-36, 37-39, 40-48 and the last version of 49-53?


As far as the math goes, 1.875 (half the stroke) + 7.00 Rod length) + 1.627 (piston compression height to start of the dome) = 10.502. The dome is .154 but, I can't find a reference to the deck clearance.

Also, I know that the valve angle was changed, did that have a effect on deck height?
