Default Will an E-cam fit a 1986 stock 5.0?

I have a 1989 Lincoln Town car with a block identical to the ones in the 1986 mustang, without the notched pistons. They are flat topped and I have installed a stock 1992 Mustang HO cam, E7TE heads, 19lb injectors, HO Upper Intake, 60mm TB and bored out my EGR spacer to 63mm, and I have a EEC from a 1991 Mark VII with the correct HO firing order. I want to run an E cam, but I don't know if my motor can take the .498 lift. Thanks for any insight!

Yeah, its got 225hp right now, up from 150 lol. But it still isn't fast enough. I am going to port the E7's and put on some 1.7 roller rockers if the E-Cam won't fit in there. I know guys with my setup that have 1.7 RR, HO cam, and ported E7 heads, but they barely break 15's in the 1/4, because of the sheer gurth of the town car haah.
