I don't recommend having a machine shop surface your exhaust manifold. A machine shop ruined my original manifold doing that.

pro tip: glue sand paper to a sheet of glass and sand it flat. I did it to one of those new manifolds being sold on ebay and it got it dead flat by the end. I will admit it was rather labor intensive.
