I believe what you are alluding to is called "having the block decked" and the head milled. You will surely need to take your head and block to a reputable machinist and have him check it out. If he says- "I think" or "maybe" then grab your stuff and leave. He should be able to check the head and block and tell you for sure if what needs to be done, can be done. A good machinist is an invaluable tool to the engine rebuilder. Find one you can trust and relate to. His price is never "to high"..

Didn't mean to come right in behind ya Jerry. Good info.
If I'm ever in Ten. and need some machine work done I think I know "the man to trust"-LOL
