Or do the techs just sorta let it slide, like they must have been doing all these years for the acid ported Stocker heads. I assume that everybody knows those big power, 8000rpm Stocker heads, couldn't possibly flow that much, with completely untouched factory ports.
Generally the heads are smaller than the leagle size. Gasket match and short turn you should stay with in the list. Unless the heads have been acid ported.

Generally, after milling the heads to correct chamber CCs, the intake side requires milling so the manifold fits correctly. That takes a few CCs off the intake runners. Decking the block (sbc engines here) needs the same.
We gotta put those CCs back, right? :-)

with no intake manifold rules in ss you could mill down the intake ports pretty far on some heads and then increase cross section to get back to the legal cc.

Hmmm... I remember the thread on this. Cheated up in IMO.
