Many factors to consider regarding piston to valve clearance, like duration of the cam and overlap. Some 5.3 motors already have dished pistons. Before recommending a cam, what is this going to be used for, what are your performance goals, manual or auto trans? If auto, what stall converter? Ect., ect., etc...

Tick has a good cam called the SNS 2... 227/235 .614"/.617" 110+3. It would work well in your application and make a ton of torque in the 5.3L.
Or, if you wanted to go a little bigger, a variation of the cam I'm running, an EPS 230/234 .600"/.612" 110+2 would also be nice. You can run it with beehive springs too as it has endurance lobes designed to not beat up the valvetrain. It's pretty close to what you were thinking.
