It is very simple to calculate. For any cam lift with rocker swap, just divide advertised lift by advertised rocker ratio to find lobe lift, and multiply by new rocker ratio for new valve lift.

.503/1.5=.335 lobe lift, .335*1.6=.537 new valve lift with 1.6s.

Thinking out loud, it would be .570/.578 with scorpion 1.7rrs...which would probably make for a nasty budget cam only setup.
