That's what I thought but now I'm seeing 70cc in a few books I have. And specs on the heads are advertised with 70cc at summit and jegs and a few other places

I sent me heads to texas speed earlier in the week and asked them to mill the heads down to 66cc
He said the stock ls3 heads are 70cc

What's the end game here? Why does it matter? If you remove a similar amount during the milling process or add a thinner head gasket, the results are not going to differ that much.....whether 68 or 70cc.
