Default is this going to work ok with my block??

I just bought some trickflow heads and I was wondering if my stock 1991 block will be strong enough to handle them and the new compression. All reccomendations welcome. The specs are below.

They have 2.02" intake and 1.60" exhaust valves, and are ported to a Fel-Pro #1262R intake gasket. These heads are real air movers, and flow 301 intake and 207 exhaust. They have 49cc combustion chambers, and have triple springs installed.

thanks

well i have never heard of the chamber size but i would do a valve clearnce check because of the 2.02 1.60 valves i have heard the will not clear stock pistions unless you cut valve reliefs in them so i would check to be on the safe side

I am putting an E-303 in it for a cam. Also have ported upper and lower intake. Anyone know where I could find stock specs on the heads?

that is the exact same thing i said v fast because there is most of the time vlave clearnce issues with the bigger valve heads so dude you better check vlave clearce or you might just be sorry and the stock chamber size is 58cc
