Anyone milled a late model head as far as possible (intake seat area)?
Have a resulting chamber volume afterward?
Yes, I know I'm nuts, thanks.

You mean opening up the runner?

No, combustion chamber volume. Say you took a set of 3233344's (like, every wagoneer since a long time ago). And milled them until you hit the top angle of the intake valve seat. What is the resulting chamber volume?
I am trying to decide on dome/dish configuration for a few upcoming engines, and I would naturally like to keep the combustion chamber in the head as small as possible, but I don't want to go looking for 291's for every project.
Any info would be great - otherwise, I will post up when I have info to share.

I've heard of heads being ruined at about .040-.045". The water jacket is pretty close, depending on core shift during casting. Remember that if you remove that much from the head you'll need to check piston/valve clearance and also mill the sides and ends of the intake. There might also be an issue with pushrods being too long. It's guaranteed that the runners won't line up anymore without milling.
