Well say he takes 0.100" off the deck any head upgrade down the line will need to be mill for the intake to fit, now you got an intake or head that only work's will blocks that been milled a 0.100". If you go through a bunch of upgrades could leave a lot of one off parts.
Plus your building power on stock pistons limiting future upgrade power capablies valve clearance etc..

Even so if it's just for intake, why would you rather a 0.100" milled stock piston block vs a block with decent aftermarket pistons and a cleanup mill job?

Because the OP doesn’t want to buy pistons.

You have no clue about pistons to valve clearance.

All the old heads who read the books have been doing it wrong for decades by milling the block.

Here’s one for you. I had to mill close to .100 or a bit over that to get my pistons .048 out of the hole.

The brand new Weiand tunnel ram I have fits perfectly with zero milling. I’d have been stacking gaskets if I didn’t need to mill the block that much.

I run my cam on a 105 ICL and LSA and I have more than enough p/v clearance.

Again, you don’t know what you don’t know.
