Default Head Swap ? 3 of them!

So I am getting a set of AFR 205 milled .024" with my cam in the sig being 224/224 .581/.581 with 114 LSA.

So my three questions are:
Will I have any clearence issues in terms of piston to valve?
Anything more I need on the parts list?
Anyone got a ballpark on what size pushrod?

-TR6 NGK sparkplugs
-GM head bolts
-GM MLS gaskets
-GM OEM or Caddy Lifters
-Oil/Oil filter
-Pushrods
-SVO 30# injectors

Stuff:
-Tons of towels
-Comp Pushrod length checkers
-Redline assembly lube
-Fluids (oil and raidator)
-Plastic ice-scraper
-Valve covers and coils delt with (i am 98 with perimeter bolt)

Afterwards:
-Dyno-Tune

Go with TR55's, no need for a TR6 in your app unless you plan to spray. You may need a new front timing cover gasket and I'd get a pushrod length checker to figure out what size you need.

i think you will be fine with that cam. My cam is supposed to clear and I have a 230/232 114LSA with 62cc AFR's. I'm going to check anyway, but I think we'll both be fine. Also your cam is smaller than the 224/228 which clears. No worries brother!
