Engine milling maths

Those heads will work on any other block.
They're 'corrected' to fit an intake designed around all those other 'stock blocks'... I know you know this. You must just have your mind wrapped around something else.

All those whom agreed with YR need to do their math over again.
You are just widening what you narrowed by milling the heads ...and the intakes and as cast port windows leave plenty of room to massage and align.

They will work with any other block IF the deck heights are the same. Seriously? WTF?

I’ll give you an example and the numbers are rough because it’s been awhile since I milled my block, but it’s close.

To get the deck of my piston out of the deck .038, to get the CR I wanted I had to mill (again IIRC) .080 off the deck of the block.

So now, I screw up heads by milling the intake face of the head the amount needed to make an intake manifold fit it.

Now, I’m sick of those heads, so I put them for sale on FABO. And you buy them. And your block has only been milled...IDK...let’s say just .010 to clean it up. And you THINK any intake is going to drop right on? If you do, you are bat **** crazy.

That’s why you don’t mill the heads. Intakes manifolds and intake manifold gaskets are much cheaper than heads.

Come on, get real.
