Another thing got to keep in mind is how likely will you upgrade later?
If there's like zero chance at any future upgrades, then ya could mill the **** out of it but there's a chance there's gonna future builds off the short block, I'd do the short block right.

Ok, how is milling the block wrong? If you’ve never been an actual machinist and engine builder explain your answer.

Chrysler since at least the 1970’s has said to deck these blocks enough that on some of the pistons need to come out of the deck. How else do you do that? Make the piston longer? That’s dumb. It’s already too long.

I can’t understand why milling a block is the crime you all want it to be? Because an intake won’t fit?

If that’s the case you’re not an engine builder because at least 50% of the time the intake needs to be milked to fit.

Unless you are a hack and you slot the bolt holes. I don’t do **** like that.

If your only reason to not mill a block is that an intake won’t fit you need to get more experience.
