That is a big cam so my guess is no. But it will depend on the Lobe design, That's why and you can have an intake lift of .649" with an Comp Cam LSK lobe but not when you use the older XER lobe. Your best bet is to do the clay test. I know it is a pain but then again it will be easier than pulling a busted motor.

I would certainly check your cylinders clearance with that big of a cam.
Better safe then sorry.

that's a huge cam. i don't see it clearing if you are using it in a stock shortblock.

Holy smokes, that is a big cam. Where do you want your power? Definately take that into consideration. Like others said, I dont beleive that cam is going to work with stock shortblock. Not olny the lift but the duration is also very high. Do the clay test an measure. General rule i beleive is .080 inch clearance for instake valve and .100 inch clearance for the exhaust valve. Good luck.

cool will do the clay test but prob. gonna build a 408 and put this cam in it. As far as the power lookin for 3500 plus rpms and 456 gears will see where I end up after that.
