I had a weiand a few years back & spent the $$$ to have not just that but the ports gasket matched they were off quite a bit,you might want to see how close the ports match the gaskets as well. If I did not want to invest the $$$ to pay someone to do it I would take the die grinder and only go down a inch or two and blend them in some.

I really would like to do a tunnel ram. What did you have for a carb and intake? or is this a new build? What carbs are you going with?

just a clean up would prolly work wonders, and a deep port match. 
That's what I did with mine.

These intakes work great with 2 4779 carbs. with choke horns milled off sq jetted @ 80 with power valve block off on a strong 440-451 engine like yours.

Sometimes there is a little wiggle room between the top and base, so you might try to unbolt it and see how much movement there is before you start grinding. It would be worth a look to take the top off and set the intake on the heads to see how closely the ports match up.
As far as tunnel ram carbs for a race car, I like the 4224s (660 center squirters). They need their idle circuit leaned out, but that can be fixed with a piece of wire. For wide open use, they are hard to beat, that is why they are also popular with the boat boys. Grumpy was a little partial to them also. You can set them end to end and still get the bowls off, so the linkage is also straight forward.

All of the tunnel rams I've seen have that problem, including two M1 tunnel rams 
Port match them on the two halves
