If you're using a head gasket with 0.039" compressed thickness, you should still have plenty of piston to head clearance with the iron heads.
IIRC, the chambers are about 0.100" or more deep.
I've got that same cam in my 340 and love it.
My pistons are 0.020" above the deck and I have plenty of piston to valve clearance. But the KB pistons have pretty generous valve reliefs.
That's the clearance you need to be concerned about.




This is what we're supposing as well. The TRW's we're using L2316F)have a 7.5cc relief. If I have to shave - so be it, but I need the compression so not sure the best route to take.
