Default Should I deck my block?
Hey guys... I'm building my 351W at the moment. I'm trying to decide whether or not I need to have my block's mating surface milled/decked for SEAL only.

My machinist said some people have it decked just to be safe, while others sometimes opt not to to save a hundred bucks on the build.

My engine is a mild build only. I'm shooting for only 350-400hp, modest compression, no forced induction or nitrous or anything like that.

I want to do the right thing and build myself a reliable motor, but I don't want to throw away $100 getting it decked if I don't need to for my intended application...

Recommendations? Thx
