Yes, R(Raised)B engine is higher oil pan to top of cylinder bores.  And, as
the engine is a "V", it is also wider.   As each side of the V is raised in
height, the distance between also increases, and thus the overall width of
the block.  Which is also why the intake manifold of a B block will not fit
an RB, and vice versa.

Question: does a B block ride lower than an RB block? Another way to put
it is: does a B block offer  a little more underhood room than an RB
setup, that is the heigth from engine up to hood??
