I have a 40 over 272 block and want to cut it to a 0 deck height. Is there a measurement available for this?

I know about the assembly and measure deal but the machinist I talked to seems to think there should be a dimension available (IE Scrub are 9" etc.). I'm not building this for big horsepower but just as a solid runner for my McCullouch set up. I have new pistons, a 10/10 crank and balanced prepped rods for it. I intend to have the assembly balanced while I'm at it.

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.
