Default ughh flycut or not

Well im running a 5.3l LM7 motor in my z28. I am going with the Texas Speed 224R cam , i have the opportunity to pick up a set of worked 5.3l heads with 2.02 valves that are ported and milled to 58cc chambers. Do you think i will have enough PTV to get away with those heads with a 224r ?

You should be fine. But check for refference and good measure.

You won't know for sure unless you measure. Period...If you don't want to measure for PTV clearance, don't get a cam. Don't rely on someone on the internet saying that it will work. I found this out the hard way.
