piston/valve clearance??
I have a 410, stock heads and valves. Stock pistons. Looking to do a cam. What is the maximum lift you can generally get away with without flycutting pistons. I know bigger is not better, I'm just trying to check the limits.

im building the same motor, im using edelbrock heads though. I cant figure out the max i can go though. I have the c8ae-h heads right now. i think im going to rip them off and check piston to valve then start doing some serious math. I have also read on other threads that max lift isnt the whole picture to look at. the grind of the cam has to do with it as well because when they hit isnt intake or exhaust its overlap so unless anybody else has beet me to it, dec/jan im going to tear down in hopes of some concrete data to go off of.
