Clay it up with the stock cam now and see how much clearance you have. The decide on the cam. Clearance is usually an issue with timing events (duration), not lift, because the piston is in the hole when the valves are at max lift anyway.

You dont have a roller cam block so are you going with a flat tappet cam or doing a roller converison? I wouldnt think that you could get much over .500 lift but it depends on how big the valve notches are in the pistons.
