It has a 10.297" deck height, about the same as a 460 but has the bore
spacing of a Cleveland. It's essentially a tall deck Cleveland. Comes
with long rods and a 4" stroke and can accept 4.25" strokes.

You're going to run no air cleaner and you're worried about a little
faster cylinder wear from stroking?
