You would need Chevrolet Mid-Deck Bowtie block, P/N 12480050 which is delivered with a deck height of 8.70" and can be dropped to 8.50".
Yes that has definitely been a consideration. It would leave around 0.2-0.250 (5-6mm) deck thickness. I know it is on the more extreme side but I have recently seen an iron eagle with just as thin a deck running a much larger bore than we ever would, and it's our there setting records.
