Default Simple valve clearance question?

I have a set of 5.3 head (706) casting that have been milled .015

Based on this what would the biggest cam be I could run on a stock bottom end LS1 without fly-cutting?

Also what length pushrod would be required?


Thanks in advance guys. Hope I'm posting this in the correct section.

230s range, no tighter then 111LDA IMO. I would repost this in the "internal section" for better advice.
