They are 76cc's.
Here are 2 sites with the flow & valve size.

Yes the port matching is worth the little work.

My sportsman II's are 72 cc. So, if I would put the stock heads off of my 81' motor on my current motor (10.25:1 CR) and my sportsman II's on my stock 81' 350 I would end up with higher compression on the stock 81' motor and lower compression on my current motor, correct? And, from looking at the links above it appears as though the Sportman II's don't flow much better than the stock heads. Is this correct?
