In regards to recommending them for the OP... kinda sucks they're bare heads, with everything needed they'd still be about $2500.
who says you have to have mast build them for you? get your own valves and springs...

IIRC, Mast likes to use custom valves. It might be tricky (and expensive) to get them from another supplier if they aren't a shelf stock valve.

LOLLLLL That was with getting your own parts. The absolute cheapest you can get them with valves and springs through MAST by clicking their options is $2679 and that doesn't include LS3 rockers or rocker stands, if you select the rocker stands for LS3 rockers they are 2779, and guess what, that still doesn't include rocker arms or push rods. And I'm not even sure if that's assembled either. Maybe do a little reading next time....

Is there a mathematical equation for this. I'm thinking 62cc chambers and a 040 head gasket.

As it's been said a 1,000 times before no one build is the same, I'm in the middle of stock bottom end rebuild and I think you maybe headed for a PTV problem. My motor has a +.006 piston to deck and the heads are PRC 2.5 , 5.3 castings that were surfaced to 63 cc Jordon with TSP said they were milled .010 anyway with a Torquer V2 ground on a 112 it was to tight for me. I'm using a Comtic .040 head gasket and with cam int center line of 110 int PVT was .052 that didn't scare me it was the ex PTV of .074 that had me put that cam back on the self [ $400 ] learning curve. Cam Motion titan 4 fixed that problem LOL , hope this helps

I'm not going to recommend PTV for you but will say that I'm running int. @ .061 and ex.@ .110 TSP tech told me they have on problem with int. between .050 to .060 and I wouldn't run ex. tighter than .100 myself
