To go a bit further if desired you can check head port to intake port alignment on the "slope" & adj the .010/.012 formula as needed to get a dead on match. check lifter preload. EDIT check intake flatness

How much can a 383 block be decked or cleaned up before milling of the valley wall tops is necessary? Do it always no matter what or only do it after a certain amount? Thanks in advance! It is one of those things that you just have to check. These blocks are 50 years old so who knows what kind of shape they are in. Get the block squared up and then drop your cylinder heads on there and see how things line up. The head, the valley rail and the deck should come together at a point if everything is correct.
