How do you tell/measure if you have a tall deck or a short deck blocks?

I don't know the exact dimension. but if you have one of each in your shop, measure the span of the gap between the heads at the base of the intake. The wider of the 2 is a tall deck. That is the easiest way I have ever done it.

I went crosseyed looking at the pic, but if you follow the acc bolt holes in the head from the bottom one to the top close to intake, it would run close like yours but not a great pic
Kinda looks like a short deck???
