Will I need to notch my stock pistons with an X303 cam and 1.6 RR's? (.542 lift)

What are your engine mods? X303 is a poor chioce for stock heads and intake (going off your sig.).

Whats the biggest intake valve you can run with 1991 stock piston? I see all sorts of aluminum heads that have 2.02 and 2.05 valves that are mad cheap. (sorry didnt mean to hi-jack ur thread but I was wondering the same thing)

Quite alright, I need to know the same answer. I wasnt planning on tearing apart my short block, but I guess I may have to.
