All they are is a 427 with taller pistons for more rings, hence the need for a tall deck block. No benefits unless you plan a making more cubic inches. You would have to buy spacers for a normal deck intake to work with it.

It wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.  Their original application was for low rpm/ high torque.  Unless you plan to build a high dollar race motor, I would skip it.
