Default Torquer 3 and 5.3L heads

Will i have any PTV clearance issues using a torquer 3 cam with my stock heads off a 5.3L (casting 862)?

Also do these heads any potential if i were to port them and maybe mill them?


These are just the heads that came with the motor so for now im going to keep them but wondering if i should go ahead and get some different ones instead of porting and what not

Oh and I want this to just be a mean street car and daily driver so torque is what im going for mainly

Port them and put in bigger valves and it is a good street combo. I am not sure what it would do "as is". Clearance will be fine with that cam. Bigger valves will make it a little tighter but still clear with no mill.

Send them to TSP and get a port job as well as new valves, let them know your combo and they will recess the values so you will not have any PTV issues. Call them for a price I'm sure it will not be to expensive.
