Tech, if you're on a budget, what makes the school bus tall deck a bad one to start with? I'm curious here. I've built 2 stroker engines out of tall deck 427s and had them in hot rod pulling tractors. They seemed to do just fine. Is it more of you can take a Gen-VI farther on up as in bore and power levels?
