Its not possible to tell without measuring. Stock LS6 heads start as 65cc chambers. figure every .007 you mill drops the chamber volume by 1 cc. Without measuring, you cant tell how much space you have P to V. Use this page to calculate your SCR / DCR: http://www.kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp

If your heads have stock valves then the valve drop should be .150", you should be able to mill them .030" to get them to 61cc and still have enough P to V. We have run our 5.3 heads with 2.02 valves and a valve drop of .100" with that cam.

i have a 228/230 cam with stock ls6 heads milled .018 and a cometic .045 gasket.I have .085" intake clearance and .135" exhaust,stock block etc..you should be fine,but check it because if your cam is not degreed or has a lot of advance ground in then you might be close on the intake..I have a 112 lsa with 2 * advance
