    Does intake need machining after zero decking block.

    Don't zero deck your block. There's so many other things that get affected besides your intake manifold. FYI if you go ahead and do zero deck your block is that your pushrods are now too long. Now you have to drop a cool $2k getting special ones made. Now if they take down the rimmed edges, i.e...

    440 crank in a 383

    So,,,,,,, I punched my 383 out as about far as I care to. I got a 440 crank that's had the main journals turned to 383 specs.
