Intake manifold fit after decking block

[tjs44]

Just do it right!Get the deck,order correct pistons to get your CR you want with ordinary 39-45 head gaskets.I give this advice from a engine we just built for a good friend.He supplied the 4 bolt 455 block and crank and a set of 48 heads.Did not recheck the deck and found out after the fact it had been cut .125 which lead to issue of the valley cover fit and the intake manifold fit.All doable,just numbers in a check book.Tom
