I am taking my ls3 heads down another .030" while they're off. They're already cut .030", so I am going to have the intake faces milled to correct intake manifold alignment.

Do you cut the intake face at a 1:1 ratio to how much you milled?

Good luck with P/V clearance but guess you know what you've got to play with.
Sorry can't help on the manifold

WOW .060 off of a head. How much deck will be left on those heads?

I have Wiseco -3.2cc pistons. I'm going to clay before I take the heads to the machine shop. The reliefs on the Wisecos are massive. Very deep and very wide. They accommodate up to an ls3 sized valve.

People do it all the time, I'm not too worried about it.

AI even offers ls3 heads @ 60ccs. 60cc is a .050"-.060" mill.

yeah, ive seen ls3 heads with 100 off of them, lol.

So, mill .030", then mill intake side .030" too or ???? I don't know the angle the heads sit at, so I can't calculate it. Just wondering what people normally do.

just tell the machine shop, they'll have done it before.

Yep. I need new pushrods anyway, so I figured may as well.

11:1 comp should work much better with these huge heads.

from an old chevy book.... should work but as others said check the machine shop...I believe a little more comes off the intake than the head


Intake Surface Mill Proportion = .707 ÷ (SIN (45 - intake face angle))

How much is that going to reduce the head flow? What about the ptv clearance? I think that you would need to angle mill, as the intake valve seat might be in the way.

These heads already flow too much for a 347. The wiseco valve reliefs are like .250 deep or something absurd. I highly doubt it would even get close to the intake seat milling .060.

Anyway, I'm thinking about just bolting them back on now. Apparently it isn't that easy to find a machine shop that will be able to mill the intake side and I don't want to mill the intake manifold because then it won't work on non milled heads and would be tough to sell.

I'm having my CNC LS3 heads milled .036 to get 64cc chambers. Weisco pistons with 8cc dished with LS2 valve reliefs. Having them enlarged for LS3 valves. Gotta mill them, not wanting 10:1 compression....No intention of milling the intake.

Yeah mine are about 65cc right now. I wanted to get 60cc out of em.
