I would recommend getting the manifold machined. Most of them are warped. They are also bad for pitting on the surface. Being a mechanic myself, I understand only wanting to do the job right the first time. If it leaks because it was warped, the customer is going to be ticked off and I will be doing it again for free + paying to get the manifold machined. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
