Default Will I have clearance issues with the following??

I am putting the following on soon and am wondering if anyone has done the same or has experience to advise.

New PP 5.3 heads (2.02"/1.57")
GM Hotcam (already have it)
Crane 1.8 RR's (already have them)
Standard GM gasket.
Stock short block.

Thanks,
Tom.

You will be fine, that cam is not that big...

If you can, use the MLS GM head gaskets.

I'm going to guess with a good tune, you'll make 390-410 RWHP

218/228 525/525 112

Are your heads milled?/

If not then don't even worry, you'l have enough clearance to run a bus through there.
I would run Cometic .045 to better your quench and reducing detonation (+ a couple more HPs)
