I don't think its really any taller, the head almost seems thinner but with no lifters or rockers I imagine it is at least slightly smaller. The longblock probably looks taller for two reasons...first because of the oil pump; it bolts to the bottom of the shortblock and into the oil pan, you can see it in this pic (the lower chain). Secondly there is a whole cover that wraps around the bottom covering the crank caps, crank and rods as they spin down, almost helping prevent windage from the oil in the pan...I don't think there is a piece like this on a 4G63.
