**Resisting sudden urge to back-half and Turbo my '77 Mustang II**
So what exactly is a Tall deck 2.3?? and what did they come in??
They didn't come in anything. There was a racing league that Ford wanted to race in, but they required a "production" engine. So Ford thought of the bright idea to cast a "production run" of ~200 blocks. There are not many of them left around, expecially untouched like our was. They are based off the 2.3 lima block, but the deck height was increased ~1/2" to allow for a longer stroke, and the webbing was strengthened to handle much increased power. The block is overall 75 lbs heavier than a normal 2.3 block.
I still wanna touch it... :D
That's one kick ass litle Bean!
