Standard Deck or Tall Deck?

[Lumpy]

Pulling the 502 out this spring and looking at 572's. The question is will a tall deck fit or do I have to go with a
standard deck for it to fit with my existing exhaust? I have IMCO Power flows with two rubber connections per side.

Should be fine with the rubber connections.

X2... go with the tall deck. It’s worth the extra money.

Tall deck is great if you can make it work, figure it will raise the exhaust around 3/8". The taller deck block is actually .400" taller, but does not move the exhaust straight up but diagonally up and out.

Consider doing a shorter stroke, larger bore combination, rather than the more standard 4.5" x 4.5".

Thanks for the replies Gents.

Iv'e got plenty of room going straight up so would I be looking at under a 1/4" wider off each side?
Will my exhaust bolt right up? Measurement was never a strong suit for me.
