On the question of the mating surface to the cylinders. Yes, that surface should be "decked". For the same reasons I outlined above.
Since you're going to carbs the engine will run cooler which is a good thing for it's future longevity. E cams are a nice choice if the ports are 32mm (2.7 normal). If the engine is a 2.7S CIS then the ports are 36mm in and you can go with a more aggressive cam like a Mod S (more lobe separation) which has a wide torque curve like the E but makes more power.
