It might pay to check with Scat about the possibility of some longer custom rod's or as Bill suggests taller pistons, compare cost difference on those options.
Here is an even better combo--- 302 crank, 1.090" piston ( 3.4" stroke type ), 5.625" rod ( Aussie Holden .927" pin-2.125"journal- Scat Make Them- B.E. will need to be narrowed or you could get them built in 2.100"chev size & grind crank to this or Scat could configure BE to ford bearings).
This will give Stack height of 8.21" [302 deck dim ] 1.50"+ 1.09"+5.625". Rod Ratio 1.88 to 1.
