I'm just gonna guess and say something along the lines of a 228R. I know that with 2.02 valves the Torquer2 was about as big as everyone said I could go, so I'd assume you'd be a step or 2 down from that.

Flycut. Notch the pistons then youre no longer limited. Nobody can accurately answer your question since its a little bit different for each application. General cam specs such as max lift and duration @ .050 dont tell teh whole story when it comes to piston to valve clearance.

im looking to upgrade my TR224 to either a 224/228 or a 228/228

But I think I will have my heads off and measure first

how much do you have to mill off those heads to get your 63 cc?

Yeah, you can flycut and be unlimited in your cam selection.
