Add that number to your rod length and 1/2 your stroke, and compare it to your deck height.
How close to the top of the deck were the stock pistons? Is there room for the "extra" in the combustion chamber. (hint-NO)
If the stockers were down the hole and the 302s give you "zero" deck, you might be OK.
