Can I gasket match these? Pics

I was thinking about gasket matching my heads while I have the intake off. Do you think I can gasket match these or is that too much to take off of the head? Would they be worth gasket matching also?

Ya i dont see why not...When you gasket match you don't take metal all the way out of the runner all you do is taper the mouth of the intake runner to smoothly flow into the existing runner.

Just make sure you dont get any deeper than you have to, try and make them fit with out taking much off, as you could hit a water jacket.
