360 stroker

Did you have the block machined, or did you buy it from someone? Your decks would be shaved .108 from 9.6 blue print spec…which the machine shop would have charged a lot of money for that many passes. And most factory blocks have quite a few thou over the 9.6. Not being mean but I gotta think you’re measuring the wrong part of the piston. Also, if the decks are that low you’re likely to have horrible misalignment when you drop the intake on. Can you check with the machine shop?
