Default stock head info

Since the stock heads I got is probably the basic, what can I expect the intake and exhaust valve sizes to be? Anywhere around 2.02/ 1.60?

do they have the ability to cut valves to that size(or close to it) at least? Trying to weight my options of aftermarket heads vs machining and port matching/ polishing(which is far cheaper) approach

Yep, something like an AFR or Trick-Flow head is just light years ahead of some 351W head no matter how much money you sink into a 351W head.....
This is a case where it IS cheaper to go with an aftermarket product rather than re-work an old head....
