Not sure about a recommendation for cutting the deck vs intake manifold on a stock block.
I will say I was worried when I had .030" cut from the 9.5" deck height IA block to get my BB Chebby connecting rods where I wanted the pistons to be.
I was running a fabricated intake manifold. Tom S has had a bunch of Pontiac Blocks built. Maybe he knows.
