I was wondering if anyone can tell me which pistons these are and if they will work with AFR 165 heads, E303 cam, and 1.7 RRs without any issues. The block is an 86 HO with e7 heads.

The E cam does not have enough overlap for ptv clearance to be an issue.

they look like stock flattop pistons, and you would have to measure the V/P clearance to be sure, but i believe the cam you selected allows for plenty of clearance.

They look like stock 87-93 flat tops with valve reliefs. Your setup had been done for decades at this point with no PTV issues.
