Help spec'ing out a new small block

I know ZERO about any of these blocks which is why I asked for suggestions. I like the big bore 3.79 stroke option and beyond that, I don't know what route I should go. Short deck or tall deck? Which one and why? I thought I wanted 48 deg lifter angle but from what I have read, I don't think the Victor heads will work or I could be wrong. Details is what I am after. Once I have the information, I can make an educated decision.

Thanks, Bill

Tall deck and if you can get cam cores, I’d get the 48 degree lifter bank angle.

Your valve train will love you if you do. Of course, you can use the 59 degree stuff. It’s just much nicer to get the pushrod and lifter lined up.
