Default Will these heads work on stock bottom end?

Anyone know if i can get away with 1.94" intake and 1.54" exhaust valves on a set of gt-40ps WITHOUT notching the pistons?

well i know the afr 165's use a 1.9 intake and a 1.6 exhaust. and i believe either edelbrock or trick flow uses a 1.95 intake so you shouldnt have any issues there. lift and duration will effect p/v clearance tho.

Twisted Wedge heads feature an exclusive combustion chamber design.The patented 61cc chambers feature rotated intake and exhaust valves moved over the center of the cylinder bores. As a result of optimizing the valve locations, valve angles, and combustion chamber shape, the Twisted Wedge heads use stock height exhaust ports without power loss.
The heads are machined for 2.02" intake/1.60" exhaust valves to build top-end power without sacrificing bottom-end torque. They don’t require flycut pistons for use with cams up to the specifications listed—no other 2.02"-valved head for small block Ford offers these features!

It doest say anywhere in there that the design was to prevent hitting... I dunno any insight anyone?
