Default Head Concern

my engine had an e303 cam and i plan on getting some new heads. I know that im gonna want to get 1.7 rockers, am i going to be fine with the piston to valve clearance on my stock motor. and also, can i use my stock pushrods. The pushrods are brand new but there stock, are they too longs, or even strong enough? Some help please?

it depends on the heads that you get with the clearance problems or not. I have PP GT40 heads and 1.7's w/ the E cam and no problems

Yes, w/ the cam and rockers your lift w/ be ~.529. Get a valve sping kit that can handle that lift...Your stockers won't hold up for long + you'll have valve float, bad.
