===Mill the heads or the intake manifold?=== Often, builders opt to mill only the heads so any off the shelf intake manifold will fit the engine. In any event, it is better to keep all the modifications to either the cylinder head or intake manifold- one or the other. Otherwise, the heads and intake become basically inseparable. On engines that show an amount to be removed from the ends in the table below, do a mock up ''before'' milling because in cases where the intake seals the lifter valley (like the SBC) there may be enough clearance without milling the ends. Always seal the ends using RTV whenever possible. On engines that use a separate valley cover, the ends need to be checked.
