Default Changing cam in 83 mustang

Ibought a t-top 83 mustang gt. It has a 86 5.0 in it. The fuel injection has been replaced with a600 carb. I want to change the stock cam to something with a little more "lope". I found a voodoo cam that I think might work. I'm not sure on the valve to piston clearence.The motor has stock heads. Can some on tell me if this cam will work without having to notch the pistons? Here are the cam specs?
