I'm not gonna tell you to put it in without checking piston to valve clearance, but i'm 99.999999% sure you'll be ok. There's a ton of guys around here running that cam in Explorer engines and i know they're not all notching their pistons. You should ALWAYS check the PTV clearance no matter what anyone tells you though.
