Default 5.3 heads and MS3

I am getting a set of 5.3 heads that have been shaved .006 to clean up the surfaces. I was wondering if a cam along the lines of an MS3 will still clear the pistons with this head.

will these heads have stock sized valves in them or larger? Also, what head gasket are you planning on using?

not sure. I will find out about the valves. I think they may be a little larger than stock. I am not sure about the head gasket yet either. Thats why I am asking questions now, so that when the time comes I have everything ready. If a certain gasket is what I need to make this work that is fine. I am open to any suggestions.

I spoke to the owner of the heads. They are actually TEA stage 1 heads. The valves are supposed to be the same as the 1.5 heads. 2.02/1.55. He told me the heads have 60cc chambers.
