454 standard deck versus tall deck

[iceman3085]

hey guys what are the pros and cons of a tall deck 454? will heads for a standard deck fit? i know the intake manifold would be designated for a tall deck, are strokers rods off the shelf available for it. basically a c-10 i might buy may have a tall deck bb its a 468 currently and id maybe like to build a nice 496 out of it but since the deck is .400 taller would you use a rod a bit longer than the 6.385 or make up the difference with more compression height on the piston? HHEELLPPP hahah
