rover 4.6 deck height?

[speedybuick]

I am on the verge of ordering a set of TA heads for my 300 and am currently trying to come up wioth a plan for the intake. just wondering what the rover 4.6 deck height is. my 300 has a deck height of 9.543

All the Rover engines except the Australian 4.4L share the same deck height as the 215 Buick. Dan Jones has a page with deck height and other useful specifications at:

Here is also a link to a page with most of the available intakes:

Hope that helps,

Rob, The quick answer is 8.960" std., or .06" shorter than sbc. This makes a lot of high value sbc rods/pistons  viable. I need the port dimensions of the John Eales , Webber DCOE manifolds,(swan neck and cross ram). These could be modded to use TPI. Tell us about your planned build.  I ordered my TA heads back in September, "should" receive mid Jan. Good Luck, roverman.
