Default Will Heads work?

Came across a deal on a set of TSP 5.3 heads with 58cc chambers. I have a stock bottom end and my cam is .602 .610, 236 242 on a 114+4 lsa. The heads 2.02 x 1.57 valves. Would I have to notch my pistons to make these heads work?

Only way to know is gonna be by measuring. I would say if you are in doubt, then you will want to check for peace of mind anyway. Also you need to account for valve float so you still need breathing room. Even if it doesnt touch.

You'll have to flycut for that one! With those heads milled to 58cc's, the largest cam (roughly, you would have to check it) that will be likely to fit is MAYBE our 228R.

Lol, I used to run that cam on an XER lobe.

Thanks guys! I really want to run a set of these heads, but I don't want to notch my pistons because I do run a little Nitrous. The unmilled ones from TSP will work though so I need to get up a little more cash.
