Default lq4, 799 heads, with ls9 cam?

Hello every one I've just joined the forums and it looks like this might be the right place to ask my first question and make my first post

I've bought as the title says a lq4 6.0l with a set of 799 heads. I'm going to be running the stock lq4 bottom end,the stock 799 heads and edelbrock performer carbed intake kit.

Can I use the ls9 cam without running into any valve to piston clearance problems?

NOTE: This is a budget build as of right now, I will be using a 700r4 trans and a carb because I'm building it from the ground up, This engine is going in my my daily drive so I'm just looking at make a very sound engine not going for gobs of power right now, maybe later down the road putting on a fuel injection with some turbos when i can afford it, thank you to any who can help me out.

You can check the piston to valve clearance to be safe, but that low lift and wide LSA should be far from having any issues. Only a 2 inch valve as well.
