Default Is a .030 head shave and this cam ok?

The cam is a small 221/221 114. I'm wondering if taking .030 off the heads will be ok. The rest of the valve train is all stock length rods, and such.

Valves won't hit pistons, right?

Just check your push-rod length. Do a search. There's a quick calculator to determine the proper length. Look under camshaft information, I think.

7.4 pushrods will probably be ok with that setup since there is .030 decked off the heads.
