Im assuming your talking about piston-to-valve clearance.The only way to be positively sure is to do a piston-to-valve clearance check.

You might be able to but instead of throwing parts at your not sure will fit your gonna have to see how much clearence you have by placing some clay on the piston, setting the head on the motor and just snug a couple bolts on it then with a dial indicator compress the valve a little past you desired lift then pulling the head off and seeing if you have enough room for that cam.
