I Also bought LS1 heads ported and polished. these specs are:
2.02 intake and 1.60 EXHAUST

LS1 STAGE 3 PORTED HEADS

HEADS ARE PORTED. AND FLOWED @ 28" H2O

It will be tight. Have the heads been milled? You WILL need to check for sure man. Probably going to be to close for my comfort I bet.

I think you're going to have issues due to the valve sizing and the cam size.

There's a lot that goes into calculating the piston to valve correctly. That being said my initial gut is it's going to be way to close. We've tested that lobe about 4 years ago and I doubt it will clear in this application without doing a little cutting

Milling heads will make it closer Assuming you have a 346 I don't think it will clear safely at all even with OEM head gaskets but that is just me. Better measure first.
