Royce, Brian P on this forum emailed me a week ago and said he urgently needs to know the MEL camshaft to crankshaft center to center distance. I know of nobody else with your experience building the MEL. Thank you very much, Royce for all of your help with my MEL and Lincoln Y-block questions.

I have tried several sources looking for this information (including rebuilder's associations).

Cam to crank distance and deck height (I assume this is to bore centerline on this engine as the actual deck is angled. Deck height info will be variable between years as FORD raised the deck height in 1959 and maybe later also.

You wouldnt happen to know if they raised the deck ht by a little or a lot? I doubt that they raised it by much as they dropped the hood and intake.
