I assume you meant will you have sufficient piston to valve clearance? Who knows? what brand heads and what size valves. are the heads milled. what head gasket, what ratio rockers, what length pushrods.

Ask yourself this, do you want to find out you you don't have enough clearance by mocking it all up with the proper ptv tool and lifter, or do you want to slap it all together based on what someone tells you over the internet and pray your pistons don't smack your valves. It is not hard to check for proper PTV clearance. Do a search for it.
