It depends on which valve sizes you have and what cam you have, but in the end, the only way to be sure is to check piston to valve clearance, often done with clay. You could try calling the Edelbrock tech line and see what they tell you.

What Edelbrock head did you buy? What year is the shortblock? What cam are you using? What rocker?
