Milled Intake Base....... Original Heads & Block

I was thinking about buying an intake off the boards here but the seller milled .030 off his block to get a 0 deck height.....
Which means that the intake base would have been milled too......(a small amount)
How much problem would I have using this intake on a block that hasn't been milled before........ We are only talking .030 !!!!!! Shouldn't be a problem should it??????
I'm thinking about ports and bolt holes....... as well as the match to the block.........
I hope someone can clear the air!!!!

Why don't you verify that first? It may not have been done.

Alright..... the intake was milled .015" on each side because the block was decked .030"
I was checking out what .015" looks like on my mic and it looks very minimal as you can imagine...... But I gotta ask if there would by problems because like most people, I can't afford to buy something that is useless to me..... Does anybody see any fitment problems with using this intake?
