In response to Dad
Welcome to the site. The truck tall deck motors are strong at low RPMs. C30+ trucks used them for hauling cargo. Car and truck motors are different. The difference is deck height, intake, distributor, and the tall decks came with 4 ring pistons. Heads, crank, cam, rods, etc etc will interchange. The intake will not interchange.
If the height of the tall deck is no concern , add a 4.25 stroke crank, 6.385 rods, the "regular" 454 pistons of your choice, and cut about .050 off the deck. Simple, cheap and easy 496.
The motor gurus can provide better information.
