Thanks for the suggestion. I would hate to have to disassemble the bottom end to mill the deck. I'm still not entirely sure if the heads where ever milled. I'm assuming they have at some point.

I need to make all the critical measurements first, then I can make an informed decision on the course of action that get's me close to ideal without breaking the bank.

the block doesn't have to be milled to get the correct quench but most folks have the block squared up. everything can be done on the head. just use a depth mic to measure the open area in the head. also use some .011" or .012" to square the piston up in the bore when measuring the quench dome's positive deck. it's fairly easy but takes about an hour to do all eight.
