302 Valve clearance

I have started my rebuild, I got my heads in today and my stroker kit. The heads are World Roush 200 heads and the stroker kit is a 347 Eagle kit. The Keith Black pistons that came with the kit have a valve relief but I do have some concern that the valves may hit the pistons. I was planning on decking the block .025, does anyone know haw far the piston is from the top of the block at TDC. The cam I'm using is a Lunati 290/300 cam with 232/242 @.050 with a lift of 544/560 and I'm using a set of Crane roller rockers 1.7.
If it makes any difference the valves are 2.02/1.60. Thanks

Only you can know the piston to deck height measurement.

Your definitely gonna have to check piston to valve clearance, as well.

You ordered and received those parts pretty quick, huh? Didn't you have a post a couple days ago about what to get?

This combo is for a car right? Manual tranny or high stall converter?
