No they are still stock, the reason why I plan to mill them is because I dont think I am going to jump from 10.4.1 to 11.6.1 with Impy gaskets alone.
from the thread searches Ive done the thinest gaskets are the impy ones. Is there anything thinner than that?

Well I have a knock in the bottom end. I am pretty sure its a wrist pin or rod bolt, Ive had a few friends with 5-6 f-bodies and vets all check it out and that is what they think my issue is.
I am not sure on the deck height or anything else really(i would say they are stock). The heads and intake I have were done by one of the guys who has 5 cars back in 96.
I know he gasket matched them and did a valvejob. since they are opened up a bit I think they would drop the compression and than I will be on a 40 over bore dropping the compression further.

you need to measure how far the pistons are in the hole first, then go from there..
if someone else built the engine, they may have decked the block to start with, you need to make sure either way.. then you go for the quench measurement... think it would be more important than compression alone..

i thought you said it was bored? if its a 357 its .040 over... thats not stock.. block couldve been decked, you need to check it to make sure..
anyways,
to figure the compression correctly you need to know how far the pistons are in the hole to start with.. then you go to the compression calculator..
