Well I know a guy who runs a t-rex cam on stock 241 heads and is fine. Since that can is bigger than yours and the 241 and 853 heads are basically the same you should be ok. But as always you should check clearances to be sure

I have a T56 so I'm not super familiar with the 4l60, but I hear that Performabuilt is one of the better ones out there
