That is something you really have to measure for but I guess the real question your asking is can I just bolt it up and go.

Please check your PtV clearance! Don't just slide it in and assume it's good because some dude on the internet says it'll be ok.

that cam is designed to be used without fly cutting, so assuming you use stock thickness gaskets.......... .. .
