When I did my 392, I took in both the heads and the intake manifold because I
wanted the heads milled. The machinist told me he always mills the intake side
of the head instead of the intake itself (I think it was because the intake isn't a
nice regular shape - makes it hard to align it). So anyway, you don't have to modify 
the intake manifold if you have the heads milled.
