Well, seeing no one else responded....
Does small blocks have a longer body than the big block ones? No! In addition to a 1.7 rocker ratio, the BB rocker has a pivot to valve stem contact point distance .15" greater than the SB rocker.

Years ago, this was a performance mod done to SBC heads. Modify heads to utilize BB roker arms, that is.
