piston to valve clearence issues?

[sheff2720]

in about a month or so im going to be putting on a set of ported e7s with bigger valves (1.94/1.60).. im a little worried that im going to have some clearence issues.. when i put the heads on im going to check the clearence anyway just to be safe but id rather it not be an issue where i have to change the set up or cut the pistons alittle.. do u guys have any suggestions on what cam to get, or atleast limitations on what might be to big? thanks for the help

2720.. the stock Ford pistons are cut for a 1.85 intake, the 1.94s are going to be just a tad too big, BUT.... If you take a die grinder and just "lay back the top of the valve notch", you'll be fine!! the depth of the notch is ok, just the top.... as the 1.94 will be just to the out side ...cool??

Yeah... clay the top of the piston and see what you have... then go to lift and duration for the clearance you have... also the intake centerline !! Its Cake!! just try and not make it harder than it needs to be....cool??
