What you're looking at is the surface of the block! The valves are in the block on a flathead, not in the head. It's like a lawnmower engine only with 8 cylinders. Shaving the head wouldn't do a thing but increase the compression slightly.
Unfortunately, this block is now just 275lbs of scrap cast iron.
