Default crank height on different motors in stock suspension car

what height do the fast guys usually have their crank in a stock suspension car.... lets say the power plant is a 632bbc with cast intake- cheif heads- steel block.

and what about a 2bolt main- hard blocked- 481bbc -cast intake - aluminum 23*- 2 kits

just curious if there would be any changes in crank height due to different weights...

i would think the 632 needs to set higher in the car than the 481... but wasnt sure.... any past experiences would be great.

I set them all the same and then just make the suspension work.

what height do you typically set them? i am wondering if i went a little over kill by lowering mine as much as i did... hoping to make it drive well down track... but now i might have made it hard to 60'

Crank height is also dependent on frame height.
