Well Mike (and Ron), that's actually 94 De-valued crappy American pounds. :}
Prices are here: BILL MITCHELL HARDCORE - Man O'War Aluminum Blocks
Just as with the CHI Limited, I will talk with Frank about a deal price for forum members. Can't promise however as these are brand new product and they never like to discount right away. I will see. | |

Oh. 8.2...as in 8.2" deck height, not 8.2 L.
And here I was thinking "Yes! I'm really starting to like Chas! They've already completed a 490+ cube alum. Man O'War small-block!"
Darn. | |

Stan,
Sorry, you can continue to hate me... 
That can't happen in the SBF bore- center blocks but we got it to 460!
-And in the hope that you like me a little, we do have 10.4 Litre aluminum Merlins to 900 HP! BILL MITCHELL | |

So great explanations and very good service to potential customers.

The height (length in inches) of the block face that mates with the head as measured perpendicular from the face (down the bore basically). A higher deck height often implies a longer piston stroke and therefore bigger displacement. I'm sure others here have a more scientific definition. | |

Yes, the dimension of the block-to-head mating surface ("deck") to the crank centerline. | |
