they never made a tall deck 454????????? a 366 or 427 tall deck intake i think the thermostat housing is not the same as car and truck that they used on 9.800 blocks.it can work but there is some things that are not the same as a 9.800 block if thats what you had in it ? all the pulleys are not going to work the damper on the tall deck is not the same. dist is not the same .water pump .some of your air and power stuff may need to be rework . yup have jerry build you a hyper piston cast steel crank 489/496 short block or long block from a 9.800 block you will have some grunt and every thing will bolt up and fit .as for a intake for a tall deck plates they are no big deal i used many of them and there is intake s thats use no plates for the 10.200 deck block . you will have to look around i know they make them in O port but not sure any one makes them in a dual plane for a 10.200 deck
