Thumbs up Re: zero decking the block

Zero decking is a good idea for raising compression and cyclinder ballance, don't forget to test fit your heads and intake before final assemblly. I had a block that was .022 from front to back. It took .025 to clean it up. They had to shave a little off the pistons to get the zero. I have been running that same block for 8 years. It is in my car now as a .030 over 351 and makes 405 to the wheels on motor. Good luck with your build!!!
