Mike: I believe what you describe is piston-to-cylinder head clearance. Actual deck height is the distance the top of the flat surface of the piston is from the top of the cylinder-block deck with the piston at top dead center. The minimum for this on a 427 is 0.0005 inch, but 0.018 inch will surely work. Whatever deck height is, you've got to ensure there will be no piston contact with the cylinder head.
